beastie

In Mr. Burns’s case, inspiration struck the poet soon after his plow struck the nest of a “wee beastie,” which is to say, a small field mouse, and tore it all to pieces.

They subjected their victims to what police called "unimaginable abuse" in a Glasgow drug den dubbed "the beastie house".

The child added: "That is why it is called the beastie house."

She described the flat as the "dark and scary beastie house" because she had been locked in a cupboard with a box that was full of spiders.

In 1998, she found it did, in fact, slow, by about one-hundredth of 1 second—proof that Duncan and Thompson’s theoretical beastie existed in the wild.
