Trivia Fact of the Day 1/13/17

Happy Friday the 13th!!!


In the spirit of Friday the 13th and unusual happenings...I'm going to skip the word origin today and introduce a word that 99.9% of you probably didn't know existed.  Today we celebrate....


"ABSQUATULATE"

Absquatulate (v) means to "leave somewhere abruptly".  In other words, 'deuces', 'gotta jet', 'bolt', 'scram'.

Lets try it in a sentence that is soon to sweep the steampunk scene...."Wither an egress, henceforth I shall absqatulate to new environs?!? ("Where's the door, I need to getdafahk outta here?!?")




Origin

Mid 19th century: blend (simulating a Latin form) of abscond, squattle ‘squat down’, and perambulate.
