julielee53 commented on the word tergivisate
tergivesate my spelling was off before
1. To use evasions or ambiguities; equivocate.
2. To change sides; apostatize.
Cool etymology:
Latin tergivers�?rī, tergivers�?t- : tergum, the back + vers�?re, to turn; see wer-2 in Indo-European roots.
ter'gi·ver·sa'tion n., ter'gi·ver·sa'tor (-s�?'tər) n. verb
1. be deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or withhold information syn: beat around the bush
2. abandon one's beliefs or allegiances syn: apostatize

Entertainment center really is an awful word; it evokes naugahide.

Glad you liked the William F. Buckly list, and thanks for the "et al" note.

julielee53 commented on the word nim nam
nim-namian: my favorite made-up word - adj.
a "nimnamian" ("nim-namian" sp?) act is a very stupid thing to do.
