All in goodly fun.

By the way, I first used the term 'liberoid' 33 years ago as college freshman (in discussion with the son of a future Eurosocialist PM & another mate who became a senior staffer to Teddy "The Swimmer" Kennedy.

I believe I made 'liberoid' up on the spot but it is one of those wonderful terms that enjoys recurrent invention!

Love it.

Love coining words and phrases.

I'm skeptical that I came up with ADMINISTRIVIA first but I thought of it and used it about 1971.

Don't remember others.

Though hereon, I'm scathing in my mangling of DIMRAT names. I think I came up with DIMRAT but I wouldn't sware to it. Certainly RATS from DemocRATS was first and not mine.

Lots of folks decry mangling DIMRAT names as grade schoolish. But I think the jerks earn it and it's mostly fun. I don't really give a rip when I'm just carrying on.

Besides, if it causes someone to be jolted enough to think a bit outside their normal box, it's worth it.

Thanks for your kind responses.
