Henceforth, it is hereby decreed that the word tumpomtrial shall supercede sartorial in all manner of speech and writing. No longer shall sartorial be uttered or typed, lest the utterer/typist be labled as pompous or ridiculous or somesuch. Let the world know the power of the new word:

TUMPOMTRIAL!!!

In all seriousness, you could say this aloud and sound less ridiculous. Make it happen, kids.

I actually saw this before I read the other thread, and my first was, "is that like a mistrial?"

So, what you're saying is...that "tumpomptrial" is a perfectly cromulent word?

'A tumpomptrial spirit embiggens the smallest man'
