America's 10 Most-Wanted Words

[Joseph Carson]

Not bad!  In the same direction, but at another degree (or two) of idiomatic
abstraction would be: "irrefraggable" (as with "frig" "or "frag" substituting for
"f**k".) - Any others?

Regards, Joseph Carson

well ... - Joseph Carson' - Reminds me of a joke - 4 Spanish graduate students of
English were celebrating their newly finished degrees with their professors at a
party.  One of their female professors, Professor White, had no children.  They
all were trying to come of with a word to describe Professor White's
childlessness.  One of the students said, "I know, Professor White is
unbearable!"  The others shook their heads, knowing that this was not correct.
Another student says, "Prof. White - she is impregnable!"  Again the others
muttered in disagreement.  A third says "Wait, I know.  Prof. White is
inconceivable!"  Everyone thought for a minute, but then decided that this too was
incorrect.  Finally, the smartest of all the students smiled and said, "My
friends, I believe I have come up with the word.  Professor White - she is
inscrutable!"
