Hold on to teeth closing on skin. That is one quick, sharp point of pain in one small place, and every use of biting keeps it. A creature that really does this is a biting insect. Wind on a bare face can feel the same, so the cold bites. A remark can land in the same small, sharp way, so words bite too. And in Kenyan English the noun goes back to the mouth: bitings are the little things you finish in one bite.
先抓住「牙齒咬下去」這個畫面：又快又尖，痛在一個小小的點上。biting 的每個用法都留著這個感覺。真的會咬的，就是 biting insects。風吹在沒遮住的臉上是同一種痛，所以冷會「咬人」。一句話也可以這樣又準又痛地落下來，所以話也會「咬人」。而在肯亞英語裡，這個字回到嘴巴本身：bitings 就是一口可以吃完的小點心。
