An op-ed piece crossed my screen today that contained an interesting word to inaugurate this posting category. The word is sacofricosis which was used thusly:
…Putting caraway seeds in white bread doesn’t make it a good rye any more than putting apple juice in rubbing alcohol makes it a good scotch. It may look like it, but then again, Bill Clinton looks sagely contemplative or attentive as Hillary talks when in reality he’s indulging his penchant for sacofricosis.
Speaking of appearances being deceiving, back to the issue at hand. … *
I don’t know if that last sentence was crafted or just serendipitous. Regardless, it and the rest of the excerpt had me LOL!
Did you look up the word? Of course you didn’t…Look here. And here.

This is funny. I must admit that I have over the years noticed men who engage in this activity. Remember the days when it was a requirement of all batters to do so while waiting for the right pitch? Oh, those cups are so uncomfortable! Can you imagine if women regularly scratched their sna@ches for all the world to see? Hilarious.
