It is a great word, John, but you're not putting your former favorite words on your favorites list (e.g., orphling). Have they dropped so far from favor?

Amazing indeed. Pragmatical clinchpoop is my new favorite phrase. Chained, you are opening up a whole new world of bizarre words for us. :-)

Love it!

"'Why, as to that,' said Jack, blowing on his coffee-cup and staring out of the stern-window at the harbour, 'as to that...if you do not choose to call him a pragmatical clinchpoop and kick his breech, which you might think ungenteel, perhaps you could tell him to judge the pudding by its fruit.'

"'You mean, prove the tree by its eating.'

"'No, no, Stephen, you are quite out: eating a tree would prove nothing. And then you might ask him, had he ever seen many poltroons in the Navy?'"
