    What does "aiee" mean in this context? Do you mean like the scream "aieeeeeeee!" or is there something I'm missing? Because it really seems strange with only two e's and a period (as opposed to an !).

    I consider it an exclaimation of mock panic, I guess. So, 'AIEEEEE!' but in a normal tone of voice, with a slight raise at the end.

    As an adjective, 'mock' means false/insincere.



    It behaves similarly as an adverb.



    Or did I misunderstand the question?

    Quoting a dictionary out of context doesn't make it right -- I was referring to the application of the word within the sentence. I understand the word mock better than you do; now take your Websters Jr. and apply it to your original sentence and see if your first posting makes any sense.

    Just when I think it can't get any more inane ... it does.
