I used the phrase "waiting on tenterhooks" and then thought "what the hell is a tenterhook".

It's these things! So when you're waiting on tenterhooks, you're stretched tight like a piece of cloth. Very evocative, now that I know what it means.

if you're an outie in the severance universe and you're a smoker does that mean your innie is just constantly on edge and miserable and craving something they can't even put a name to because they've never experienced it? if you drink too much on a weeknight does your innie just have to suffer the headache and nausea of a hangover without knowing where it came from?? if you have tattoos on parts of your body that are always covered by the lumon dress code, does your innie just walk around not knowing about them? what do you do if you get a hickey?? do you think any innies have ever gotten naked in the bathroom just to see the entirety of the body that they're not allowed to own???
