Whither Creep?

There are nine meanings of the word "creep" which pertain to this week's Self Help Radio:

(I got the following definitions from dictionary.com.)

The verb form that means "to move slowly with the body close to the ground, as a reptile or an insect, or a person on hands & knees."

The verb form that means "to approach slowly, imperceptibly, or stealthily (often followed by up )."

The verb form that means "to sneak up behind someone or without someone's knowledge (usually followed by up on )."

The noun form that means "an act or instance of creeping."

The verb form that means "to grow along the ground, a wall, etc., as a plant." Also the noun form of such a plant: "creeper."

The noun form that means "a boring, disturbingly eccentric, painfully introverted, or obnoxious person." Although I would add that a creep often makes one feel creepy.

Speaking of, the adjectival form ("creepy") that means both "having or causing a creeping sensation of the skin, as from horror or fear" & "of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a person who is a creep; obnoxious; weird."

& of course the pluralized noun form ("the creeps") that means "a sensation of horror, fear, disgust, etc., suggestive of the feeling induced by something crawling over the skin."

There are more than nine definitions of "creep," you know. I can't be expected to cover them all.
