It hit him in an artery, I guess. It swelled up and cut off the blood flow to his head.

I'm very impressed with myself and getting a swelled head,

She had a huge bump, but she wasn't sure what hit her. It swelled up when she was out there. She didn't want to come out of the game because she's such a tough kid. It was big (losing her at that point).

Bunny slippers remind me of who I am. You can't get a swelled head if you wear bunny slippers. You can't lose your sense of perspective and start acting like a star or a rich lady if you keep on wearing bunny slippers. Besides, bunny slippers give me confidence because they're so jaunty. They make a statement; they say, 'Nothing the world does to me can ever get me so far down that I can't be silly and frivolous.' If I died and found myself in Hell, I could endure the place if I had bunny slippers.

You have hit it on the head.

Blood is wiser than head.
