MaxQ: You people are useless! I demand a refund! I STILL haven't received a definitive answer to the question

Do we have a word for this concept? In due honor, it should be named by, or for, MaxQ). Any nominees?

And now, off to another posting: I must MaxQuse myself elsewhere.

Qston, we have a problem!

Surely your own invention nearly captures the idea of an evasion of answer: an exQs

As for a refund, that's just a Quibble - offer him sick squid

If we must have a new word, how about remodelling "unrequited" to "unrequordled".

I like it, Dr. Bill. The Unrequordled Question, wasn't that a tone poem by Charles Ives?

Dear Helen: When Max is entitled to a replevin, he is requordled. When you are similarly defrauded, we need another new word. I challenge your admirers, or whom there are so many talented persons, to devise one suitable to apply to you.

Well, this has edged over into the realm of W & F, but for the nonce it's here.
When our Helen is cheated, she is detroyed, of course. And all restitution is retroyactive.

Since no volunteers have appeared, I will coin a word for Helen. I found a coined word in an ad for new accessories for SimCity, to enable kids to "retrovate" their megalopolis. So when Helen has been wrongfully deprived, we must "retroyate" her.

I was just thinking about the Wordapalooza and what I would need to do to get my butt from dear old Blighty to Michigan. When I have it all organised, I believe I will have the trip intowellated.

"intowellated"--

You'll have your trip wrapped up in a towel?? You'll be going 'into' a trip that is 'well ated'?
Ah--you will have your trip 'in tow'!

Peer-zactly! It's my word, after all. What it means is you have your trip and everything associated with it completely under control.

If you're arrested on the way...can you be interrogated while intowellated? (say it 3 times fast!)
