(Semi)vivisepulture.

That is one which for 56 years, had kept itself out of my vocabulary. But thanks to you all, I have learned a new word (the first one since yesterday).

So I put some google-fu on it, and it seems it is part of the lore here.

And just about no place else in the 'tubes.

Vivisepulture... Death Metal band in Bean town area.

It’s semivivisepulture if the purported decedent revives before the gormless yute identifies a suitable digging implement.

One learns to be cautious about the details of burial details when living under artificial gravity.

Where too much down becomes out.

Down and out may be bad enough in Beverly Hills, but in the Asteroid Belt, it's a long, cold slide.

Obscure words that someone once saw the need to coin are often placed back in circulation on the UT. Years ago I had placed vivisepulture in my 'at some point I'm going to need this' vocabulary and I saw the opportunity to use it early this calendar year.

Tax-chick adopted it immediately and we've been pinging it since then.

Tax-chick also made use of the term 'anthropodermic bibliopegy' in 2014. I am now awaiting the chance to use it in casual conversation. It may take a while, but I'm patient.
