If you're that old, we might be close to the same age. Do you remember a show on HBO called "Not Necessarily the News"? There was a segment on there called "Sniglets", which was about words that should be in the dictionary but aren't. One of those words was "aquadextrous", which meant the ability to turn of the bathtub faucet with your feet.4nik8 wrote: I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous (more old-people humor)

I even recently referenced the obscure term "portmanteau", of which many a sniglet happens to be!
