Other questions about "Pique"
Q:
PIQUE means to arouse curiosity, or to make someone angry. So you might do something in a fit of pique, but never ‘a fit of peek’ or ‘a fit of peak’ – though you need to be fit to climb a peak (sorry – couldn’t resist).
What couldn’t the writer resist? At first I thought it was the difficulty of climbing a peak, but now I’m not sure. Because after I looked in the dictionary, it seems that one can resist a temptation, pressure or arrest, but can climbing a peak be resisted?
So, was the writer saying he couldn’t resist his act of writing down the sentence “though you need to be fit to climb a peak”, which hurts people because most of them can’t do it?
Thank you very much for your help! :)
