esquivalience

So, this trap word is different from abacot, dord, and epicaricacy. Abacot started out as a misspelled bycoket. (I did enjoy how one of the lexicographers, Nathan Bailey, is involved with both abacot and epicaricacy.) While dord was an unintentional mistake, esquivalience was an intentional one for copyright purposes. Other links provided me with quick, fun reads of Jakob Maria Mierscheid (cf. Ern Malley and Ossian), honeytoken, fictitious entry (nihilartikel, Mountweazel), canary trap, and ludibrium. (Thanks for that Ron O.)

and if you're boating/canoeing, just dip it over the side to really cool off - just keep a good grip on it!
