A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

Absecession


Absecession: The rather unfortunate and unfunny portmanteau(s) of abcess, abscission and secession. Related to an interview we thought we saw (???) with Richard Shelby on MSNBC's Morning Joe (today, Monday, May 4, 2009). But, we tried to look up the video on their website without success. Anyway, the honorable Mr. Shelby appeared to be decrying (again: see Richard Shelby: Auto Bailout Would Be a Mistake) the bailout of some financial institutions. This time we think he might be right. Definition: The financial cutting off of funds, entitlements and so forth to financial, manufacturing, governing and other institutions when it is financially or politically expedient. For more on this topic,if you care to, see The American Political Handbook for today or tomorrow, Monday/Tuesday, May 4/5, 2009.
On a somewhat related note: Mr. Shelby's non-trivial association with the term "specfection". Political expediency: unpardon.
