    I did a site search, swearing I had seen it used before here. Couldn't remember who it was. Turns out you can't get enough of the demimonde.

    This thread just reminded me of something. I worked the word "stymie" into every essay and paper I had to write in 12th grade English class.

    The teacher signed my yearbook and wrote, "You did not stymie my efforts to teach you."
