But it's not substantiated, just listed with, I might add, a treasure trove of other wonderfully worthless words, tsuwm! You have to click on the cached link under the hit because the actual url is too unwieldy and I can't pull "shorter link" up right now. http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=slang cornobbled&btnG=Google Search [re-edit: link's working again, must've been that slow-down here, yesterday] [edit: evidently the link is not bringing the page up...so....type slang cornobbled into Google, you'll get one hit. Then click on the cached link.] I'm almost certain that cornobbled is listed in the Slang and Everyday Speech section of Marc McCutcheon's magnificient study, A Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the 1800's, which is readily available for sale online, but not for perusal. However, I don't have access to the book until the historic village library reopens in May. So I guess it's off to the good ol' library! A good university library is sure to have this work, for those of you with nearby or on-site access.

Ok, all y'all blokes, looks like this is the finalist final list: triboluminescence, gobsmacked, dipsetic, cornobbled and enantiodromic. alternate - pantomath Though there was a tie for 5th place, I decided that pantomath is looks very similar to this week's philomath, so for variety, the place will go to enantiodromic. The alternate will go in if we can't find enough support for the eligibility of cornobbled. Tsuwm, could you provide simple definitions and etymologies from the OED? or is simple OED an oxymoron? We'll also need sentences for the words, so if anyone can find good sources, it would be appreciated, or we could just make up our own. What do you think?
