Oh, and I wasn't implying, Hyla, that your source hadn't been reputable at all. I just wanted to reassure the word hounds here that, even though this word doesn't appear where we habitually check out definitions, synonyms, and so on, it does appear in a reputable source and a thesaurus at that. I also wanted to make sure no one assumed I was using my hero, Mrs. Byrne!
