If you want more of the same thing look for a book titled "Anguished English" by Richard Lederer.

bassman -- I heard someone call it 'circumscribed' once. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

mjc -- My brother's friend must have read that book.

He told us his car had a 'stimulated' wood-grain interior. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
