Need A Word

Just off phone with SBA about papers they have sent me. Round file.
Anyone know the big word for when someone confuses the issue w/bs, talk or paper work?
Think the word I'm thinking starts with of?????

that'll be $50...

or is that a $100 word?

Here we call that a 2 bit word. Never use a big word when a small one will suffice. Groan

I believe the word is "management".

Just don't use "proactive", ever, for anything.

I like this aisle. It's empty.

Is this a cromulent use of this thread?

infinite monkey · 08-05-2013, 01:27 PM

I think so. Does it mean 'ironical?' Is ironical really a word, and if so, why?

Cromulent

A word meaning valid or acceptable, coined by David X. Cohen for the Simpsons episode "Lisa the Iconoclast".

When schoolteacher Edna Krabappel hears the Springfield town motto "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word embiggens before moving to Springfield. Miss Hoover replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word".
