this mystery was resolved, between the interlocutor and myself: the worthless word for the day is: jamfle
[Sc. jamphle < jamph, travel with difficulty]
to shuffle in walking, as if in consequence of
wearing too wide shoes {Jamieson}
"And in the morning I jamfled over to the YIVO
Institute for Jewish Research and their archives..."

John Huston died 20 years ago today. Is this a coincidence, a connection, or a random tribute?

yet another John Huston, so most likely a coincidence (although one shouldn't rule out random connections).
