In a sidebar (non-blog) discussion of Joey's unseemly willingness to "put the douche on the table" I am told Joey has used the word douchacotomy in an actual conversation.

This is alarming. And, in a strange way, inspiring.

I almost wish I was back in my undergraduate studies. Or, better yet, in a doctoral program for comparative literature. I'd would use the term douchacotomy liberally throughout my thesis, confident that no one would have the nerve to challenge me on whether it was a real word. And then I'd be able to confront Joey and tell him (as I often do anyway): "Joey, you're full of shit." But in this case I'd be able to add: "But not as full of shit as modern day academicians."

Once we're done with the Encyclopedia Mastandrea, I have an idea for a new initiative: Mastandrea University.
