If Jesse Jackson invents the word "acculturated," then anything is fair game.

[Graybeard58]

Jesse not only denies the allegation he denies the alligator.

Acculturated is a word, the moron used it incorrectly.

Nah, that word was invented by sociologists in the 1960s, before the Revrum was ever heard from. Have it in both a textbook (BS textbook, to be sure) and my class notes.

The ''professor'', one Peter McHugh, was a raging idiot, effectively an anarchist. Sociology 19a: Deviant Behavior and Social Control. The book in question is (IDEALLY way the hell out of print) ''Defining The Situation'', a total waste of (as I recall) $38.00 at the campus bookstore.
