First a vidya for the illiterate among our readership:

This was giving you more honourable credit than you might have deserved, rather than call out a simple misspelling. Pardon my criticism, but I have always considered myself semi-literate, at worst.

He’s just a mean, old, jealous drunk. ;)

I'm only occasionally illiterate. Kind of a feign thing.

The vidya in question was directed at Doc's:

I know, right? It’s like one big hodgepodge of jibberjabber.

Which amusingly used no fewer than two neologisms.

For myself, I revel in my many creations.  The happy pair "CHE-19.5" & "CornHoleEbola-19.5" I am particularly fond of.

The acronomical nature was entirely the reslut of coincindence.

Nautical Shore.

Clearly, you’re obsessed with me but I’m gonna have to let you down.

Don't let me stop you.

Now I don’t feel like it. The mood is ruined.

I always assumed those were perfectly good words and the imaginative interplay was commendable. Maybe an original mixed metaphor of sorts, still points awarded.

If you really think about it, and that fine vidya I posted for Doc's edification points it out;  all words at some point in their history were, in fact, neologisms.

I agree, it was nice to see an actual attempt at expressive thought on Doc's part, even if it was off-topic...  I suppose this thread has self-Godwinned itself with the NotSee comparisons to the whole CornHoleEbola-19.5 crysis long ago.  A little derailment now and then is pleasant, I suppose.



Prosit!  My first beverage of the evening shall be in your honor, Lazar.

The bottle stands by you, sir!
