gadzookery (gad-ZOO-kuh-ree) noun

Use of archaic words or expressions, e.g. wight (brave),
prithee (I pray thee), ye (you, the).

[Apparently from gadzooks, once used as a mild oath, which may have been an alteration of God's hooks, a reference to the nails of Christ's crucifixion.]

I love this word! I shall embrace it during the times when I engage in such gadzookery. Like, when I say "gadzooks!", for example!

I drove in this morning behind a Subaru with the bumper stickers of:
Marriage = Man + Woman (using pictures of a man and woman).
and
Proud to be in one nation Under God.

This person also had a handicapped license plate. Do they give those things out for mental defectives? Oh, that was bad of me.

I was also sitting behind a Chrysler during another part of my commute. I can't look at a Chrysler the same way since

taogrl and I saw the last part of the Cremaster Cycle. Ugh. What price art, I ask thee? (ding! gadzookery!)
I learned an important lesson that day. Well, a few. Number one, don't expect magic if you become obsessed with an artsy movie just because you see some cool poster of it in a subway in Paris. Number two, I know absolutely nothing about the masons and masonic symbolism. Do I regret it? Only for the two hours of the Cremaster Cycle.
