Cark is a verb.

One carks when one issues an expletive, usually derisive in nature, but does so in such a manner so as to disguise it as a cough, sneeze, or (in some rare cases)a yawn.

Interestingly, the cark is most successfully delivered by adolescent males, especially those of Middle School age. Perhaps the most familiar example is "Bitch!", which, when successfully rendered, results in the unknowingly agrieved Middle School teacher's response: "Gesundheit!"

Really. I've seen it happen.

Ron,

Nice reply to 'cark', but...

Please go back and read the first post on this thread.

Toenotic? Lovely! Perhaps you should suggest it to wwftd!

or save it (if it has a definition) for a round of hogwash® - I've struck out at OED, W3, OneLook, Google...

Would it be cheating to post 'toenotic' on one of my web pages...

Hmm

Yup...

>a googlewhack in the making

it's only fair; this game is going to unmake almost as many as it makes. (e.g. urinator chott, urinator jackanory)

Interesting tsuwm, any idea about how long it takes for the Google engine to register one of these pages? It hasn't got 'toenotic' yet... (1300 hrs EST, 6/29)
