And it's a quirk, as well! - mplsbohemian, 2007-08-02: 02:56:00

And a dose of squirt too. - petaj, 2007-08-02: 03:21:00

Perhaps he was an exsquirt on the topic. - petaj, 2007-08-02: 03:21:00

Expert: "X" meaning unknown, and "spurt" being a drip under pressure. It's enough to make a person more than a tiny bit squirky. - Kyoti, 2007-08-02: 15:26:00

Pronunciation: men-so-PRAN-o-kwee

Sentence: Bob was not going to be baffled by any of those so-called complex "Mensa" questions. A couple of hours of grayplay and all would be solved. His family became concerned, however, when he could be heard muttering to himself in a high-pitched, squeaky voice. They didn't know what to think. What were the reasons for his mensopranoquy? His wife thought that, perhaps, he had attained noetic nirvana, or had even entered a falsetto fantasia whilst accidentally channelling "Tiny Tim"

Etymology: Blending of mens (mind)& soprano + quy (of soliloquy)
