The entire 8 years of the Bush administration is a great example of zabbernism. And you are very selcouth, as is your blog. As long as you aren't using it in some kind of rastaquoueresque way. That would be very pronk of you. Wonder what dad will find mungoing today (ok, he really does do that)? How did we get along without these very useful words? You need to find a good word for a blog that does a public service by acquainting the public with useless, yet obscure words. I'm sure there's one out there.
