pique

Why do you hate freedom?

But nobody ever has a fit of piqué, that I know of. And if they did, they'd probably spell it wrong.

Does anyone ever have a fit of Picabo Street?

I defer to the wisdom of Picabo Street on this matter.

Oh, you're not the digressor here, frindley. :-)

(Digressing back to Laiane's comment…)
When used in reference to fabric it's usually pronounced pee-kay, and in fact the NSOED's preferred spelling for this sense is piqué. (But "pique" is allowed as an alternative.)

Oh, jump right in, jennarenn! The more the merrier! I haven't even started on peek yet. ;-)

Dang, reestee. *I* wanted to whip c_b into a fit of peek. No fair!

Or, say, you're about to summit one of the Fourteeners and a massive snowstorm blows in, so you have to turn back. A fit of peak!

Only in that case, yes. But you would more correctly call it a fit of peak pique. No?

But what if, say, you order an ice cream sundae with no whipped cream, and the waitron brings you one topped with a giant crest of it? Then you would reasonably be entitled to a fit of peak, don't you think?

I really hate when people spell "fit of pique" with "peak." Grrr.

But my brother and sister have such an influence over everybody, and are so determined; so pique themselves upon subduing me and carrying their point; that I despair that they will...

Clarissa Harlowe to Anna Howe, Clarissa by Samuel Richardson

I've often heard the expression "fit of pique", using the primary definition of "A state of vexation caused by a perceived slight or indignity; a feeling of wounded pride" to mean acting out of wounded pride.

I've never seen this "woven fabric" definition. I've always used this as in brtom's comment.

You pique my curiosity, Haines said amiably. Is it some paradox?
