'Pestonation' (not to be confused with Italy), n. (re: punctuation, intonation) the art of free-floating long, slow, deep breath or pause before shouting BUT loudly enough to make the interviewer jump and wake a sleeping rolling news sofa potato. Bastard.
'Punctuated in Preston', v. Stabbed somewhere up North.
