what is my favorite word? pull-ease!
but here is a word that I really like:
transpontine - situated on the other side of the bridge
try this at your next board meeting, when the chairman brings up his favorite topic for the nth consecutive meeting: "That issue is transpontine in the extreme." meaning that you will cross that bridge when you come to it, when actually it has long since been crossed. (I much prefer this to "overcome by events" [OBE]. : )
