I have absolutely no clue why or how this ended up on my lists! The link back to the original list is no help, since I moved the word.

I remember this word from that New Yorker story about how the guy met his wife - feeling very chalant, etc. Didn't you put it up here, R?

Yes, I posted that link on my back-formations list page. But oddly, this word is not on the list itself--and I don't remember putting it there! So strange.
