Is that the greatest word or what? I just learned it today — in a NYTimes article about J.D. Salinger who is almost the same age as Momma. Samizdat. Say it as if you were Walter Koenig playing Chekov on Star Trek. It means blurry, passed around Xerox copies of documents, as in — stolen from the KGB communist-era secret document ephemera. My father would have loved samizdat. He would have read it while drinking verbacine.
Happy 2009.
