cesium133:
Or aggressively badgering them into staying...

Method of Madness:
What should Faye have done? "Wait up" is hardly aggressively badgering, even she's clearly annoyed while saying it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Whoever or whatever Bubbles was lashing out and hitting there, it wasn't Faye. "Indeed", IMO, means "Indeed, I'm dangerous and I could have just killed you if I was having one of my serious black-outs. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my isolation cell, which is the only safe place for a monster like me."

Neko_Ali:
By the point Bubbles was leaving Faye had already done the screwing up. Her original idea wasn't a bad one. Get Bubbles to come out and socalize with her friends who are pretty accepting and laid back, and not the sort of people who would freak out about her being in a combat chassis. The whole party was thrown so that Bubbles could meet other people. Though only Faye was aware of that. As such she couldn't be hanging around Bubbles all the time, but all she did was introduce Bubbles around and then abandon her to hang out with her friends. As someone who is rather insecure and suffers moderate to severe social anxiety, that is a huge recipe for stress, anxiety attacks and noping the heck out of there. And most likely feelings of resentment towards Faye for feeling like she tricked her to go out and put her on display as 'look at the freak I work with'. Keep in mind that Bubbles seems to have a very low opinion of herself. And Faye isn't exactly great at reading the emotions of people.

What could Faye have done better? Plenty of things. The party for one was a bad idea. Like I said before, it's taking someone afraid to swim and pushing them in the deep end. Panicking and flailing is bound to happen. It may have been a bit harder to convince her to come out for this, but a better choice would have just been hanging out at the apartment with a small group. Marten, Hanners and most likely Claire. That would have allowed her to socialize in a much lower stress environment. Even at the party, just checking in with her now and then would be a good idea. Also not going after here acting pissed off would have been smart. But you know. Faye.

Hopefully the two will start off next week with some real serious talk instead of their usual snark and threats. Maybe then something can be salvaged from the night.

--- End quote ---
Dord was an entry in an early edition of a dictionary.  The entry was supposed to read something like "D or d (contr.) Density." However, it was mistakenly entered into the dictionary as "Dord (contr.) Density."

This mistake was popularized by Dinosaur Comics: http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2739. It has been verified by Snopes.

And since rho is a far more common abbreviation for density, it's somewhat surprising that "d" was even listed as an abbreviation for density.
