Dracula part October 3

Today's post is brought to you by the letters Q and S! What word can you think of that starts with "S?"

...That's right, stertorous! An incredibly common and not weird to repeat word at all! Stertorous! Stertorous! Sterorous! And what about "Q?" Can you think of a word that starts with "Q?"

...Yaaay, you got it! Quivering! Another word that absolutely-normal people repeat over and over in their normal speech! Hooray! What a quiveringly good day!
