# Is it possible to use the word jaunty
in any other phrase than 'Thats a jaunty hat'? Is it similar to the letter Q which always has to be followed by the letter U? I really need this answering....

# You can be wearing a hat
at a jaunty angle.

I think maybe it always has to be hat related though....

There's a linguistic rule if ever I saw one!

# can't someone's walk
be jaunty? Or does that phrase only exist in the sense that "he walked away jauntily", which of course is a different word.

# Yeah you could be right.

Have you ever actually used the word *apart* from with angle though? I haven't.

# Thats great news!!!!!
Could we have found Furtive's long lost brother Jaunty? Do you have photos? Are they similar to each other as brothers often are?

# Woo-clickety

There's another one or two around that site. I can't figure out whether the bear is actually called "Jaunty" or just described as having qualities of jauntiness.
As for similarities to furtive, jaunty is made of stone, and furtive is made of, well.... bear, I guess. or possibly of reconstituted kitten and magic dust.

# that's a truly great
bit of sculpture. Makes you want to stroke it just like it was really furry.

More "inquisitive" than "jaunty" though, I feel.

Do you think we could buy this statue and put it outside b3ta HQ (just as soon as we build it...)
