If you haven't seen them yet, take a look at Part I and Part II of the series.

--ROUND FOUR--

This time around, it looked like Jack was running out of big words to use, so he called on Dictionary.com for some reinforcements:

" Don't bother me further. that's [sic] your last warning:

piss•ant also piss-ant(psnt) Slang

n.

1. One that is insignificant.

2. Obsolete An ant.

adj.

Not important; insignificant: "Some pissant Texas court wants to make [the company] pay . . . more than $10 billion in reparations" New Republic."

LAST warning? Umm, did I miss a FIRST warning somewhere? Of course, since Jack was now in the mood to play a jolly little game of Scrabble, it would have been rude of me not to join in:

" Very well. Obviously you have no interest in anything more than your own agenda. We can consider this particular conversation closed.

And since we are trading definitions, might I recommend one more word?

WOO HOO!! Triple word score!! I am the Scrabble champ!!

Oh yeah … Jack apparently gave up, took his board game, and went home, leaving a (seemingly) final parting shot while on his way out the door:

"No, I don't have time for piss ants."
