Prickle in a sentence as a noun

I also prefer treating them as sentences and prickle at the level of enthusiasm for no dots.

If you do say something, and inevitably get that little "I shouldn't have said that" prickle in the back of your brain---simply immediately apologize and move on!

Prickle in a sentence as a verb

They're not investing that cash into the company, their sweat equity is nowhere near that number and their talent is going to prickle at the sight of soon to be purchased baubles parked in reserved spots outside the office.

If you don't get that prickle, and a co-worker or manager says something, just take it at face value that what you said was not professional, because professional actions never raise the possibility of personal offense.
