Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.

made up words

believe it or not, a friend of mine helped me write a perl program to generate words* like the ones dustbury found in his spam folder - so i had at least as much fun coming up with some definitions for them as he did:
  • "viscent" - n. - a small coin minted in honor of a viscount.
  • "simposconcia" - n. - the practice of electing morons to positions of leadership.
  • "gramazing" - adj. - in a manner that elicits wonder in cows.
  • "reextruch" - v. - a medical term for the action of giving yourself leg cramps
  • "matempendully" - adj. - in a manner similar to the flabby upper arms of a maternal ancestor.
  • "recroutratess" - n. - a woman who serves seconds at a german restaurant.
and two of them are proper names.
  • "disgroonesset" is the name of a massachusetts island, derived from the algonquin words for "fever and vomiting".
  • "squero" is a vehicle produced by a pontiac-scion joint venture.
