Every time I see this word, I become approximately eight years old again, because: clinchpoop! Heeeeee.
And it tops the Most Wordied list right now. :-)
I just love that this word's been added to so many lists. Woo hoo!

Amazing indeed. Pragmatical clinchpoop is my new favorite phrase. Chained, you are opening up a whole new world of bizarre words for us. :-)
This is a word I will use at a perfect moment...it will lie in the weeds just waiting.
Love it!
Phenomenal. My new favorite word. My least favorite remains, for now, entertainment center.
"'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.'
