how can you trap a man in a wardrobe? Is he seven inches high? I'm not sure of the basic physics of it

desperately?

dippydeedoo · 13/02/2008 21:17

jubilantly?
forcefully?
with glee
like a woman possesed/on a mission

valentinesdaymascara · 13/02/2008 21:17

...something about panic/anger/rage/fear/adrenaline?......

aggressively

handlemecarefully · 13/02/2008 21:19

I'd go for the nice simple slick 'forcefully', can't abide overly poetic flowery prose

with finality

gigglewitch · 13/02/2008 21:20

loudly

shall go to think of sensible suggestion now

PuppyMonkey · 13/02/2008 21:20

emphatically

handlemecarefully · 13/02/2008 21:21

It has to be forcefully....presumably the pursued person is suffering from the adrenalin 'fight or flight' reaction...forcefully goes well with this

ProfessorGrammaticus · 13/02/2008 21:21

firmly

OLDroot · 13/02/2008 21:21

My x peed in a wardrobe once.

OP posts:
SlartyBartFast · 13/02/2008 21:22

with a resounding thud

OLDroot · 13/02/2008 21:22

she is thinking either forcefully or triumphantly

OP posts:
gigglewitch · 13/02/2008 21:26

did you do it
emphatically?
cunningly
with a vengeance
expectantly? depends why you shut him in there, are we talking with a view to having your wicked way with him...presumably not

claustrophobically oh no I'm doing it again.
What's all the talk of seven inches??? kindly explain?

OLDroot · 13/02/2008 21:28
