Extraterraneous

Extraterraneous: adjective. Describing something, which is a) from a different planet than Earth and b) quite difficult and tiring. Most common example of extraterraneous activities include Vogon poetry and a conversation with a Wookiee or Gungan. Interestingly the word has existed since the time of King Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks of Poland. It originated in the home of a lazy Norwegian fisherman and according to lore, the tale, too long to describe here, involved a herring, too much tea and a very pretty sea urchin.
