Starstruck

Glossary Entry: Sweet Nothings ®

A top-of-the-line tracking device, part of the Whispering Jenny ® line from Spybot Gadgets, Ltd. Until recently, the Sweet Nothings ® was said to have been best described by its very first advertising campaign: “We shot it into the heart of a star, we pounded it with a plasma hammer, we dropped it down a mini-black hole! Nothing, no, nothing, can stop Sweet Nothings from whispering into your ear!” And it was true, for the most part. None of the things listed in the ad could keep a Sweet Nothings device from whispering into its owner’s ear.  But any humanoid with a will, an average IQ and a screwdriver could.
