That's a real word? I've been saying that for years, never thought it was an officially recognized word.

On the subject of favorite words, I'd like to thank you, NDD, for adding "monkey stomp" to my vocabulary. Its come in handy a few times.

Of course it's a real word. Bart Simpson has used it at least once or twice....
