Abtract
Abtract: adjective. Describing something or someone who or which comes from an area of indefinite extent. Generally this word is used to describe either people who come from the American "Mid-West" or fauna and flora from rainforests. The word was first used by the humorist Mark Twain in a speech he gave to the newly founded University of San Francisco which was titled: "On the Nature and Philosophy of Benign Cacti and Abandoned Box Cars in the vicinity of Nevada". The speech holds the record for greatest number of hospitalisations due to the speech to this day.
