Love it, Dr Bill. You oughta contribute it to TVR's Best Words column. It certainly has an aura of fun or either majesty, one.

Dear WO'N: You'll be hearing from my lawyer. If I could find one I could trust who would
work for free. Is there a linguistic term for "reverse engineering"? Pretended outrage-emoticon.

That's OK, Dr Bill. Leave him be. His pathetic attempt to better the unbestable ensnorkulate will avail him naught.

For what it's worth, I'm with Faldage on this one - ensnorkulate is a masterpiece. Well done, Dr. Bill!

Dear WO'N: to steal a quip from Jack Benny many years ago, you wouldn't talk to me like

A more difficult task would be to apply this procedure to threaded stoppers (for those who drink the cheap stuff)--
nasoexcapulation, maybe.
