#WordOfTheDay: #catstaple

//katˈstāp(ə)l/.
verb
past tense: catstapled; past participle: catstapled

to be attached or secured with a cat.

"Mark had remained in the same position for three hours straight because his 10-lb feline Bertha had catstapled him to the sofa."

(The above is a common occurrence in our household.🤣 Feel free to borrow this expression I've coined as it comes in handy. #Dogstapling is a related phenomenon.)

Example:

Last xmas someone gifted me a copy of Tomorrow Will Be Different by Sarah McBride, a transwoman who just got elected to the Delaware state senate (I didn't even know she was running for office) and whichs intro was written by Joe Biden.
