Ha! Oxygen Thief. I'll have to remember that one. :) And for Doctor Who fans, Ood has a completely different meaning...
ReplyDeleteMy husband likes Dr. Who but I've only seen snips of episodes as I walk thru the room where he's watching. He made me sit thru about 2 minutes of Blink and I had to leave!
DeleteI love the term oxygen thief! I frequently refer to such people as a waste of oxygen or skin cells.

DeleteOxygen Thief - great title for a book or one of John Frain's A to Z challenge stories. Fun stuff
ReplyDeleteOh, wouldn't it be fun to do an A to Z challenge from the antagonist's point of view?! Here comes May... HA, no way, this is too exhausting. April's killing me.
DeleteYou all are too funny! Why not a May challenge John? I'd read them.
DeleteI'm also in love with the term "oxygen thief"! Thank you for that. And, like Colin, OOD took my brain in a whole different direction.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying your OOD =)
DeleteAh, the oxygen thief. Would that they were only limited to the military, but I think they've invaded every area of our lives.
ReplyDeleteYep, I know several people who qualify. And some of them I see in court attempting to pretend they're a licensed attorney...........
