Koohii stories:

1) [radical_tyro] 20-7-2007(184): The commando gnats entrusted their mouths to the translators and what came out was "All your base are belong to us!".

2) [mantixen] 25-11-2006(81): If you entrust me with something, my mouth belongs to you.

3) [tuuli] 7-7-2008(49): You should only open your mouth to entrust someone with a secret if they belong in your family.

4) [chibimizuno] 16-9-2009(22): "I have to go out for a few hours. Can I entrust you with my two-year-old?" "Okay, sure!" …three hours later… "I'm back … HEY!! Get that thing out of the baby's mouth! It doesn't belong there!" (try to make a vivid picture of whatever object you decide the baby is chewing on - pen, razor blade, drill, Picasso painting, whatever… but be careful so that it doesn't get confused with another primitive.).

5) [vengeorgeb] 21-5-2009(14): Entrust is to confer trust in someone else. My mouth belongs to you and your secret is safely entrusted with me.
