[Teflon Don]

Simontaneous adj Reality and surreality both occurring at the same time

[Anubis]

Doppelganger is a common word. I've never hear the word discombobulated used outside of the recent Downey Jr version of Sherlock Holmes.

 

EDIT : I'm still giggling at doppelmonger.

[Anubis]

EDITED - Joke already done earlier.

Wait - Have you just accidentally invented the word "doppelmonger"?

If Shakespeare couldn't find a word that fit, he just invented one.

Simon is his reincarnation. In 400 years time, academics will be arguing about the derivation of "doppelmonger".

Here's another for the list: "irony".

I thought everyone knew that.

Ah - As in "Simon should copyright his exploding disc to protect it from the doppelmongers."

[rubble-rouser]

This is awesome! I think this thread comes from the future via neutrinos. Simon invented Dopplemiongers 20 years into the future and now they have come to take over - an entire squesanty army of Dopplemongers who have never heard of teh word Dopplemonger buty hear it all the time!

[Pony Princess]

I had to google two words yesterday as I roughly knew their meaning but wanted to make sure before I used them:
