Feeling anxiety or concern; unsettled. That's the definition. There was something about the mouth of this character that made that an apt title. As a side note, when I was a kid my parents received The Reader's Digest on a regular basis. My two favorite sections were 'My Most Unforgettable Character" and a section geared to increase your 'word power.' You could say that section permanently instilled in yours-truly an appreciation of the power of words. Needless to say, my HS English teacher loved me; and I her. I am perturbed at how we've dumbed down our vocabulary on TV, in movies, etc., to approximately a 6th grade level. And I'm probably insulting some 11 year-olds. Are they doing this in popular novels too, I wonder? That's what dictionaries are for, you know. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond paper. Original Jones Art is now stepping down from the soapbox in northwest Austin, Texas.

I agree! I think my feelings might be a bit stronger than perturbed although your image is a good representation. I'm shocked that even teachers nowadays use, "Me and Julie went to the movies ...", etc. Listening to news reporters on tv hurts my ears. The expression, "I received an INVITE" instead of the proper word, "invitation" absolutely drives me wild. Dumbed down you say - you bet! Sad.
