In its present incarnation.

In its present incarnation? The word that started it is only from last week's words.

Would that be Monday last?

She said thread I assumed she meant thread. I mean, who am I to assume our Grand Anarch doesn't know what she's talking about?

actually, the source (at least for me) would be MAD® magazine -- here's a FAQ which gives the correct spellings of other words from the MAD lexicon: http://www.wtv-zone.com/moe/moesboomerabilia/page13.html

obviously, many of these were borrowed from Yiddish.
