To paraphrase Rick Blaine (Humprey Bogart) in Casablanca: "Of all the definitions of all the words in the world, I have to pick two of these." Well, them's the rules. 7 and 14, I suppose.

2 because exasperated sighs need a word, and 8 because it's the closest other definition to an eye roll that would normally accompany 2.
