I love that episode! Go Blackadder! And long live the turnip--and the
cunning plan! Cheers, Christine

Who emanticated the feline?
Bob, what's "emanticate"? My, apparently emaciated, dictionaries don't
have that one.
From 'Blackadder'
J: (places two manuscripts on the table, but picks up the top one)
Here it is, sir: the very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book,
sir, contains every word in our beloved language.
G: Hmm.
E: Every single one, sir?
J: (confidently) Every single word, sir!
E: (to Prince) Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if
I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribblarities.
J: What?
E: `Contrafribblarites', sir? It is a common word down our way.
J: Damn! (writes in the book)
E: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anus-peptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to
have
caused you such pericombobulation.
J: What? What? WHAT?
G: What are you on about, Blackadder? This is all beginning to sound a bit
like dago talk to me.
E: I'm sorry, sir. I merely wished to congratulate the Doctor on not
having
left out a single word. (J sneers) Shall I fetch the tea, Your Highness?
G: Yes, yes -- and get that damned fire up here, will you?
E: Certainly, sir. I shall return interphrastically. (exits) (J writes
some
more)
G: So, Dr. Johnson. Sit ye down. Now, this book of yours...tell me, what's
it all about?
J: It is a book about the English language, sir.
G: I see! And the hero's name is what?
