Once, when I got fed up with spam I used this as an e-mail address. I got so many complaints I had to close the account for good. Great bombastic "word" and makes you think that maybe, just maybe, we made a big mistake when we invented language in the first place.

I did not get any spam.
Not so many ordinary mail either.

This whole page is blatantly dubious. Or dubiously blatant.

me too, though I'd probably use the variant blatant dubiosity (by parallel construction with hideosity)

I like the phrase blatant dubiousness.

I like this word precisely because of its blatant dubiousness.

Valid? Who said anything about valid? ;->

But yes, it's presumably an archaic term that means (as sionnach said) "good." Okay, it's listed as "dubious," but it's in good company on Wordie, I'd say. :-)
