1. Nary a worry...
I kinda like it myself. It reminds me of a George Carlin routine about birth control...
'Nary a Carry':D

6. Nope
Why, just a few hours ago, I used it to discuss my Date With A Freepess.

It's right in the middle of the reply. Enjoy.

9. Nah, I use it. I also like to use the words "passel" and "mosey"
and sometimes say "aught" for zero, and not just when naming rifles (like the thirty-aught-six).

We gots ourselves a whole PASSEL of freepers, and nary a one with a brain with an IQ higher than aught nine. I say we mosey on over and blend in with these name-inscribed belt buckle and NASCAR t-shirt desiguises I brought and see if we can't get 'em a might bit roused.

11. I'm n-ary the tree I am, I am
I'm n-ary the tree I am.
I'm being traversed by the parser next door,
She's traversed me seven times before,
I'm n-ary the tree I am, I am,
I'm n-ary the tree I am.
