pseudocarnturbaqueous, noun and adjective. Quality, status or skill of false or
deceptive watery meat turb.
In a sentence: “His pseudocarnturbaqueous behavior is
very herbhanous to me.
This word is of
course from the 17th century, where they actually still used
carnturbs. People who used it were then said to be very carnturbaqueous,
meaning they were very tref or didisk.
However, in 1835 the circumer
was invented, replacing more and more the carnturbs. Nevertheless the word
carnturbaqueous was still used. In 1901 the famous American poet Oscar Scott
coined the term pseudocarnturbaqueous, meaning a false, deceptive kind of
carnturbaqueousness.
One other interesting
story is the controversy of politician Alex West, who was accused by his rival
of being pseudocarnturbaqueous, thus eventually destroying his career as a
politician forever.
