While I would like to thank Faldenkrantz and Alexstern for their entertaining sideshow, my simple mind was focussed on the use of the word "originating". Mr. Garg's own email said that the word originated in Britain. The theme for the week was not "words that were coined somewhere else, but given currency in Oz". So, unless the word was born spontaneously in a miserable, God-forsaken hole and in Cornwall, the word doesn't belong, imvho.
