In an idle moment at Pinewoods, my brain jogged a little to the left, and as a result I contribute this useful term to the Swarthmore Classics lexicon:
turpindicular
The precise definition is still up for grabs. Any takers?
The maximum angle at which an ironic aside can be arranged with respect to the subject at hand before the student to whom the comment was addressed realises what s/he's up against.
He drank so heartily that his speech was only a few degrees from the Turpindicular.
