retromingent
Look this word up in a dictionary and tell me does it even make sense??? 
For those of you that will try to use it, this word wasn't found at www.webster.com.

It doesn't make much sense, but I found a definition in my Random House Webster's College Dictionary.
One time, Ben Bradlee, the newspaper editor, described one of his critics as a "retromingent vigilante" or something like that.

It doesn't make much sense. Ben Bradlee is pretty funny if he called someone a "retromingent vigilante." LOL

I'd like to see that vigilante... on second thought, maybe not.

FuzzieAlum, a friend of mine told me about the word today, something about "the word of the day." Where do y'all get it from?

Retromingent was the word of the day here: http://www.wordsmith.org/awad/ . (Shameless plug, the guy who runs it is another CWRU graduate.) Dictionary.com also has a word of the day. In both cases they send out a (week)daily email with a word, definition and maybe examples.
