If your liaison is illicit, your

hookup may be both transient & egregious, but NOT connubial.

If it's a LAMPOON, it's likely to be

flagrant and possibly sophomoric.

If I'm otherwise normal but I don't understand that I've been cursed,

your imprecation is either abstruse or inarticulate.

If it's a carafe, you'll find it

in the refrigerator or on the table.
