        Previously an adjective that now is a verb. It is the new way to describe making out or hooking up, even canoodling without being too obvious about it. It never goes farther than second base. Usually persnickety happens on a one time basis or with someone you arent that interested in. It also means to canoodle, or to spoon and kiss etc.

          A word that should be [googled] to find the definition as per direction from [Dane Cook]. It means picky or very fussy about small details or being a snob.

              When a person is a douchebag or just gets on other peoples nerves
              or a person who just doesnt fit in applies to this word.
              A nice way to say a mean thing! :)
