Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/12/00 Posts: 3409	There's really a word specifically to describe people who think Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays, other than loopy, I mean? Who coins these things? 'Fess up tsuwm, it's you, ain't it?

jmh Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/22/00 Posts: 1981	Oh yes, only a couple of days ago was I was only looking in the Grandiloquent Dictionary for an insult or two and spotted it there, next to sgriob (a word I often slip into conversation). sgiomlaireached - The habit of dropping in at mealtimes sgriob - The itchiness of the upper lip just before taking a sip of whiskey shaconian - A person who believes Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's works http://www.islandnet.com/~egbird/dict/s.htm Mind you, this is the only reference to be spat out by Google (and even for really obscure things there are usually at least a few more) someone out there could be extracting the Michael!

AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 6511 Loc: lower upstate New York	A quick google shows one other source: http://srd.yahoo.com/goo/shaconian/1/*http://www.islandnet.com/~egbird/dict/s.htm Oops... looks like that was the same source. Apologies (no, I'm not trying to hasten my rise to "old hand")

Is there a markup for banging head on desk? I had a dyslexic moment I thrink? Dam ! There I go again. Shux ! The GSP (Great Spell Checker) wants dyslexic to be dyspeptic ... I guess that works, too. wow

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10463 Loc: this too shall pass	yes... or at least the usual gang of weird resources believes there is: C.H. Elster's "There's a Word for It", Mrs. Byrne, and the aforementioned Grandiloquent Dictionary all have it -- I suspect the ultimate 'current' source is Mrs. B, but heaven only knows from where she culled it (her Bibliography is tres extensive).
