ORIGINAL: Nemo121 SSSHHH !!!!!!!!!! You'll ruin my BRILLIANT plan of making Damian think he's safe and making you worried [:D] Now quit analysing this and go back to fretting. sorry, not a native speaker here, thus my potential confusion... I always thought to fret was a reflexive (sp?) verb... that must be wrong. So there is a meaning like "nettling" or "vexing" for "fretting" as well ? Hartwig Fret means to be anxious and worried over something to the point of agitation. Hope this helps you. From Miriam-Webster Dictionary: Transative verb: 1 a: to eat or gnaw into : corrode ; also : fray b: rub , chafe c: to make by wearing away a substance <the stream fretted a channel> 2: to cause to suffer emotional strain : vex 3: to pass (as time) in fretting 4: agitate , ripple intransitive verb: 1 a: to eat into something b: to affect something as if by gnawing or biting : grate 2 a: wear , corrode b: chafe c: fray 1 3 a: to become vexed or worried b of running water : to become agitated
