Tmesis. Tmesis.
Nope, doesn't work. Apparently you can't say the word properly unless you have teeth capable of eating an apple through a picket fence.
In accordance with standing tradition, I will now ignore what the people ever on the other side of the ocean have uttered and state the real word of the day since it's now Thursday in real time. The word of the day is:
Defenestrate.
This is a cool word, particularly apt for persons of my cultural persuasion (no culture at all, a glorious lack thereof).
What it means: to throw out of a window. (Yes, I COULD have cut and pasted the crap from some dictionary or laboriously read and retyped the meaning, but do you really KNOW a word if you do that?)
Usage: Alright pardner. You know you're not allowed to pop the lady's G-string. I told you that last week. Would you prefer to walk to the exit or should we defenestrate you again?
While some purists and generally snotty people would object to the stated usage, I defend it rigorously. Not only would the subject most probably understand the usage, even if he failed to comprehend the meaning, he would likely grasp his genitals and willingly exit the ti[/i]tty bar under his own power, thus achieving the desired result.
Other benefits:
The word is easy to remember yet sees little usage. You can be sure to impress most 6th graders with it. I find this works almost as well as candy and yet costs nothing.
Yer honor, I plead innocent. When I parked my truck through the front of the establishment, I was only attempting to reenter through the same portal shown to me by the gentlemen when they defenestrated me moments earlier. I forgot my hat and I misjudged the height of the lower edge is all. Besides, how was I to know you can't pop a G-string? It ain't posted anywhere on the walls and she's MY sister, after all. She never had a problem with it at home when I was helpin her practice for auditions.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

I'll offer up:
sesquapedalian
Which literally means one and a half feet, but is also used to describe people who use overly long words.

I like to use it on people who call a spade an earth-inverting horticultural iron-mongered implement.
Oh, and it's sesquepedalian if you're a purist, but I have seen it spelt your way.

Those are good words, but we musn't overlook retromingent.
If you call a male lion this, he won't get mad at you but will still try to eat you if he's hungry.
Call a human male this, and you're looking for a fight ... unless he really is backwards urinating and you are a doctor or something.
Also, before I forget, let's all please continue to eschew obfuscation. A thesaurus after all is a dinosaur.

What's another word for 'thesaurus'?

I've always been a big fan of the word "****". Yes, it's only one syllable, and it has no fancy smancy definition. But it just rolls off the tongue well. It's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

And is "**** retentive" hyphenated?

Deathwysh, your avatar is really scary. What the fu[i][/i]ck is that?

That's Jocelyn Wildenstein, Patron Saint of Bad and Unnecessary Plastic Surgery, and proof positive that some physicians crossed their fingers during that part of the Hypocratic Oath that says "first, do no harm".
Yes, she's a real person. Yes, she actually looks like that. Yes, she actually PAID to look like that. It boggles my mind too.
What's really scary is she apparently thinks she looks good and she gives advice about plastic surgery to other women (here's a shock: she's for it)~
Yeah, that's it Joce. We're jealous of your good looks.

Any post-surgery tips?
Well of course you must make sacrifices- I for one lost my peripheral vision after my last cheek implant but I weighed it over carefully and realized I only used it for driving so it was a decision I could live with.
You might be well advised during your convalescence to work up a few signals to replace the expressions you've lost in your face. (If of course the surgery is done right.) I twiddle the fingers on my left hand to show joy and use one finger on the right hand to express displeasure but you will have many isolated weeks to find symbols that work for you.
Keep in mind that women are very jealous creatures. They will more than likely resent your transformation if they can't afford to do it themselves. My advice in this instance is to consider the source and do your best to rise above their pettiness. If it all gets too much for you always remember: nothing gives you a lift like a little collagen.
