recockulous

[THOMAS C PURNELL]

Ron,

(Since I've never figured out how to reply to the group, I'll just send this directly to you.)

While in LA this past June, my brother-in-law asked me if RECOCKULOUS was a word. I had never heard of it, but he said one of his friends was using it a lot. I remember this because I've been thinking that it was just some goofy term his friend had made up.

--tom.
