I went to the doctor after I developed a desire to become a morning radio host with puffy cheeks. He diagnosed it as Mumpsimus.

Where did you find “sumpsimus”? It isn’t in the dictionary - not even The Oxford Dictionary OF The English Language.

I have had the word and definition of mumpsimus posted in my cube for about 9 months now. My boss asked me about a month ago how long I had it hanging there after he had read it and chuckled...

“During the course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been levelled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to sap its safety.”
Thomas Jefferson, Second Inaugural Address, 1805

Whenever I hear a mumpsimus such as “The kids gave a gift to Herb and I,” my cheeks get all swollen.

Using irregardless in the context of mumpsimus was a joke, right?
