Right: as in correct in opinion or judgement (he was right)
Right: as in to a satisfactory condition(put things right)
Right: as in human rights
Right: as in right of passage (kinda mixes with the human rights one)

    Devilishly bored - great expression, seems to fit the Sherlock Holmes era - as in "Watson, I'm devilishly bored; let's invent Sudoku and pretend it's Japanese."

    Are there any more though? I think we should just change every other word to 'right'.

    It's the plot basis of "Clockwise" (John Cleese). Have you seen it?

    Gosh Liss, has Zomb00 lost a giant? No wonder you reprimand him. I call that irresponsible and careless. (It could be blundering around all over the place, ripping up lampposts and eating them, peering in upstairs windows [like yours, right now!] reaching into the sky and swotting the Word Cloud. I'm scared!)

    It's rite of passage, BTW. How about "Right, then!" as in "Here we go!" Also, "Right about now" where Right=Just (just as in approximately, not just as in morally right). I'm confusing myself now.

    You're all right :D

    Except Liss, who's in the wrong for letting her giant wander around unsupervised.
