Wow...that's just...wow. I think that may be the best verboticism ever. I'm going to have to steal that spoonerism technique in the future.

Thanks! I guess I'll be on the lookout, too. I was going to use "horripileation" instead, but this one works better.

Thanks, guys. Maybe one of these days I'll win the coveted "tries too hard" award.

Indeed, to be followed by the customary frontal verbotomy. Oh, wait. Been used already.
