Alzstairtardation

Alzstairtardation: noun. The word describing the situation one is in when a person passes them by, uttering an insult on their address without giving the insultee a chance to respond. The word Alzstairtardation was coined by none other than George Bush junior who (after letting the French borrow the word entrepreneur), decided that English should be enriched by a word that would describe what the French so snobbishly call "L'esprit de l'escalier." Deriving the word from "Alzheimer," "stair" and "tardiness," Bush was absolutely sure that his newly invented word would quickly catch on in the English communities around the world. To his surprise, almost all countries where English is used as the official language claimed that the term Alzstairtardation was far too offensive to "Alzheimerees" and "tardants" and subsequently banned it from all official and semi-official documents. The only exception to this were the Falkland Islands, where a census had to be conducted in order to resolve this issue. The vote showed that over one half of the population was satisfied with the term, but said that they would never use it anyway. The USA, on the other hand, not only stated that the word was offensive to all "Alzheimerees" and "tardants," but also to the stairs, which later won a lawsuit against George Bush and got one million dollars for the psychological damage he had caused them.
