qqqq Jun 19, 2006	Well this si what bite means. It doesn't have to mean clenching your jaws: "b : to wound, pierce, or sting especially with a fang or a proboscis 2 : to cut or pierce with or as if with an edged weapon 3 : to cause sharp pain or stinging discomfort to 4 : to take hold of 5 archaic : to take in : CHEAT intransitive senses 1 : to bite or have the habit of biting something 2 of a weapon or tool : to cut, pierce, or take hold 3 : to cause irritation or smarting"
