Thick (meaning stupid)

Cracked

Above me the branches of the tree were //damaged with one or more thin lines on its surface// and withered.

Dented

The weapon was //with a small hollow mark in the surface, caused by pressure or by being hit// around the sides, as if it had seen quite a few battles.

Thick (meaning "stupid")

I told you not to touch that - are you deaf or just //stupid//?

Obtuse

The answer's obvious - or are you being deliberately //stupid and slow to understand, or unwilling to try to understand//?

Cracked

In my opinion, that's a totally //stupid, silly// idea. (not thick or obtuse)

To shiver

It was chilly, and I //(about humans or animals) to shake slightly because you feel cold, ill, or frightened, tremble// at the touch of my damp hair.

Shiver (up and) down your spine

The sword was the length of her forearm, sparkling metal, the blade inscribed with words that never failed to cause a //a frightened or excited feeling//.

To shudder

I //to shake suddenly with very small movements because of a very unpleasant thought or feeling//, hearing the doorbell ringing and seeing again the expression on my father’s face when he opened the door

To tremble

“So this was a one-way trip”, said Clary with only a slight //an act of shaking slightly in a way that you cannot control, for example because you are frightened, angry, or excited, or because of illness// to her voice. (not shiver)
