An action of kidnapping your sister.

I thought a nabasis was something like a basic nemesis, or even a golfing term as in ” Ah yes …….. he just demonstrated his lack of golfing ability by hitting a nabasis.” It could even be a colloquial term some place as in ” I went out with Anaba’s sis for a while.” So much potential for a relatively unknown word!
PS. Did you have Sisabana for breakfast?

Hmm, I thought in golfing, anabasis meant deducting strokes from your score on any basis. And what the heck is Sisabana, and why would I want to put it in my mouth in the morning?

A Sisabana is a backwards Anabasis.

I had to think of that one for a moment wondering how you came up with the definition. πΆπ€
You did bring back a fun memory. It was the night before my sister’s wedding. My brother waa guilty of Anabasis!
I was posted as the look out guard, for my sister was suspicious. I saw my brother coming in thd distance, which meant I was supposed to run and sound the alarm. BUT …. he was carrying a box of fresh donuts π© in his hands!

Oh, well, you can’t run away from a box of fresh donuts. Your brother should have known better.

Yes, what was he thinking! Besides the fact that he knew exactly how to tempt me. I didn’t have to question what my sister was thinking when she saw me with the donuts. LOL!

I get the sense you’ve had a lot of good times with your family, pulling a variety of pranks on each other.

Yes, there was a lot of laughter in the house. My Dad learned that its not a good idea to shake up salad dressing after I had it. The lid wasn’t on tight and he had ranch dressing all over his face. π in my defense, I didn’t do that intentionally, but it was quite funny.

That would have been hilarious to see. But I’ll bet you were in a little trouble.

It was, thats why I remember it all these years later. And yes I may have got in a little trouble, but the laughs were worth it.

Maybe bananabasis is also a word. A monkey’s advance to the interior of the produce section at the super market.

Not as much as you know about cows I suppose

Wellll …. perhaps, I just assumed you knew a lot about them, being that you can act crazy like them.
While cows are just innocent creatures who spend time grazing, while soaking up the sun.

That word sounds apeeling, but I think we may be heading down a slippery slope.
