As I was stepping out for a bag of M&M's (I know, I really must start fixing proper breakfasts again), I saw about a half dozen of my colleagues positioning a couple of display cases at the entrance to the Reference Department. (Have no fear, the requisite profession-related quip was made.) When I went in for a closer look, I saw that they were related to the ongoing "Obama in Africa" exhibit and consisted of everything from newspaper articles and banners to bumperstickers and CDs.

One of the bumpstickers bore the legend "OBAMA IS UNBWOGABLE", which said nothing to me. So I googled and found a definition from a surprisingly good resource. Perhaps some of you knew of the Double-Tongued Dictionary already, but I'd never come across it before. Unlike the better-known Urban Dictionary, it actually includes proper citations. That's because it's the work of a single lexicographer rather than hordes of anonymous eighteen year-olds.

So check it out. And everyone who can work "unbwogable" into one of their entries before the end of the day gets a cookie from me.
