    I learnt the word "palimpsest" today. It means a manuscript on which two or more texts have been written, each one being erased to make room for the next.

    Sounds a bit like the underwriting found in most JW publications!

    Insert a few phrases into your posts at random:

    - All other things being equal
    - In view of the foregoing
    - When all is said and done
    - There is no true religion. However,....
    - I know not everyone will agree with me, but....
    - These opinions haven't been evaluated by a mental-health professional (oops, that one's mine)

    Anti-dis-establish-atarian-ism
    This is one of my favorite nonexistent words. It is the idea of not changing the establishment. (JW perhaps?)

    Hybobagoobiack (Hi'-bo'-ba-goo-bee-ack)
    This is another one of my favorite nonexistent words. It is any communicable disease that you don't want to get. (Example: Don't touch that dead rat! You might get Hybobagoobiack!)

    You're correct

    Anti-dis-establish-atarian-ism
    This is one of my favorite nonexistent words. It is the idea of not changing the establishment.

    but the reason it is nonexistent is because it is misspelled.

    The word antidisestablishMENTarianism is real - and it means "opposed to the removal of state support for an established church" like the church of England in Great Britan. It's in my dictionary.

    Are you familiar with MEME? It rhymes with "beam". A MEME is "a unit of information in a mind (an idea) whose existence influences events such that more copies of itself get created in other minds."
