This word, taken from the excellent wordsmith site, is both extremely topical and quite unusual, a combination which I though would appeal both to our Dr G and fellow Agorists. I think it would both make an excellent GWotD - and perhaps please Mr Twain as well....

Aye, the wordsmith site is quite good. However, I left it when I caught the author in an error to which he would not admit. I figure if you're going to be an arbiter of language and etymology, you should at least accept corrections.
