Apocaplectic
In a recent entry, Mig at Metamorphosism used a word that was new to me: apocaplectic. I commented enthusiastically about this combination of "apoplectic" (which has rather gone out of fashion, unfortunately) and "apocalyptic" (which, even more unfortunately, hasn't). Mig wrote back to direct me to a jolly entry dating from 2003, and I'll do the same to you. Mig's coinage works so well because we've all forgotten that "apocalypse" means "revelation," not "the end of the world."
