[words]

I derive much glee from the fact that the word mishmashes 'inasmuch' and 'insofar' are valid dictionary words.

I want more crazy words like those! Three words in one!

Of course, I tend to want to use 'inasmuchas', because 'as' is the most common word I use at the end of 'inasmuch'. Sadly, _that_ is not valid.

"Forinasmuch" is valid legal language. 8->

"Nevertheless".

But if I see "infact" one more time, I'm going to chew up an aluminum can.

Does WTF count?

I like "notwithstanding." I can't hear it without hear Marley's ghost say it, from the best movie version of A Christmas Carol ever. Is it possible to fall in love with a voice? :)

I know of a women's and children's shelter called Inasmuch House.

i believe Davo (now of austin, TX, formerly of bostonish) and a friend of his invented one: spinnygoroundguy. which refers to anything whose exact name you can't recall at the moment but which goes around, e.g. a tire, a microwave turntable, a CD, etc. as you might imagine, context is key, but i've rarely misidentified the target object.
