I kinda like the "i", as in proctiloquist. Any issues with that?

Goes well with my favorite neologism, ignoranus...

There's always proctoteretes 'an ass-observer' compliments of Aristophanes who coined the verb whence my offering came, and also the great adjective dasyproctian 'having a hairy ass'. How about pygirhetorician 'butt-orator'?

I'd like to assume a place in this high-class dialogue. I hope I pass muster, and won't be crass enough to invite harassment

Well, we may find ourselves the butt of some jokes. In the end, though, the bottom line will show the seat of the problem. I have a "haunch" that it might be someone on his or her duff, behind the computer screen; a real pun bum. You know, the ones who have a lot of cheek...

PS I like your quotation :0)
