    They messed up my records, and to make matters worse, they're closed on weekends and don't even have an answering service. That's the last time I go to this mickey-mouse doctor's office.

  • Interesting word. I've also heard it used (perhaps incorrectly) to describe the imprint left on the following page when something is written on the current page.

  • I can't help but be slightly amused whenever I hear this word, even when it's used in the context of horrible disasters. I had been having trouble figuring out why, but I think I've got it: the first place I heard it was probably the television show Tiny Toon Adventures, on which there was a character called "Calamity Coyote."

    It's amazing how, at least for me, my first exposure to a word can permanently color my perception of it.
