When I was watching the TV show "SpongeBob Squarepants" Spongebob got fired from his job. His face swirled up and the then he had some sort of tempor tamtrum. So I thought that being "fired" meant that your face will swirl up, and you'll have a sort of seizure. I soon relized what getting "fired" meant.
