Catcher

Catcher: noun. An alternate word for a container, which collects a liquid that has been poured from a pitcher. This word is most commonly used in US English and has entered the colloquial language there. One must be very careful not to use the word with someone of not US origin, because that will most definitely leave them confused and in many cases also very angry. The word was initially used by Mark Twain in his essay called "Why I Hate Baseball", where he generally ranted about tupperware and cutlery, while making loose metaphors, similes, analogies and synecdoches to the sport mentioned in the title.

Fragment 10:

Herb was indeed delighted to see his Christina again and offered here some cauliraddish as a welcome. Unfortunately Herb wasn't aware that Christina was allergic to cauliraddishes and that this allergy has lead to her being imprisoned 35 years ago in a time-locked trans-dimensional prison operated entirely by sentient tissue boxes. This meant that Herb's offering was received with a harsh dose of starcasm and didn't improve the strained relationship between the friends. Christina wanted to get away from Herb as soon as possible (that wouldn't work out very well for her, but Christina didn't know that yet) and so she got to the point. Christina had come because she needed his help. She required his expert opinion on this, she said as she took out a faded statue of waterman from what appeared to be 3 millenia ago. At that moment Herb's hopefullessness was indeed very high. He had hoped that Christina's arrival would mean a calmer day, but instead she seemed to have gotten herself involved in the crazy theories, which claim that the entire existence only lasts a year before repeating. Herb did have some sempathy for the people with such theories, his life did indeed at times seem monotonous and repetitive, but he couldn't possibly believe their ludicrous theories.
