mark defuggled Baileydefugalty
A great difficulty; a quandry. It is not located in any modern dictionary, and the references to the word are, for the most part, quite obscure. However, this word remains in common use and most individuals who use it say that they have used it since they were young.
The roots of this word are uncertain; some claim that it is a deformation of "difficulty" (which would be quite grievous for a typographical error) while others maintain that it is a derivation of "fugue." (However, "defugue" then becomes a nonsensical abstraction, as TheDiscouragingWord.com has pointed out.)
Since this word is not located in modern dictionaries, it is often mis-spelled. (See Defugilty.) However, the spelling found in all the internet references available (most of which are located on university webservers) is "defugalty."
Sorry for the defugalty; your paperwork went to three different offices and still didn't make it to the director's desk.

What do you mean by nonsense? Isn't defugue the act of playing JS Bach's music backwards?...while others maintain that it is a derivation of "fugue." (However, "defugue" then becomes a nonsensical abstraction, as TheDiscouragingWord.com has pointed out.)

no worse than ravel/unravel [Joseph-Maurice,oc since you brought up Bach] or any other silly prefix added making a non-word iregardless of it's usage,(However, "defugue" then becomes a nonsensical abstraction, as TheDiscouragingWord.com has pointed out.)

it would be in Chicago, dey got dose guys dere. Lots of de fugues and de bachs.Naw, defugue is just careless usage. "I have the fugue" is correct, not "I have defugue".

Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!
Let's hope Skinny's Hotel EWW has a connection so he can stay connected with us or he'll be hopelessly lost, on our spaghetti threads.

I just thought you mighht enjoy one of my favorite pomes.SPAGHETTI
By Shel Silverstein
Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows--up to my face,
Over the carpet and under the chairs,
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs,
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk,
Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.
The party is ruined, I'm terribly worried,
The guests have all left (unless they're all buried).
I told them, "Bring presents." I said, "Throw confetti."
I guess they heard wrong 'Cause they all threw spaghetti!
