I would spit in your eye right now but I'm going to refrain. "Why?" do you ask? Because I had some cheerios, and besides spit, there would be cheerio fragments, and I want spit in your eye, but I don't want your vision impeded by cheerio; that is too much for anybody to deal with. Impede comes from the latin verb "impedo" which means to stick a foot into. A foot indeed.
