In my town, 10-cent stores were called dime stores. Because inefficiency misquemes us here in the Midwest. It makes us want to tudiculate some limbs.

Master P is an entrepeneur.

Master P is an entrepeneur. I know this because he created Rap Snacks:

After witnessing the glory of his "Platinum Bar-B-Que" chips, a friend of mine decided to dub him "KC Master P". That is all.

CORRECTION: Rap Snacks were apparently created by a James "Fly" Lindsay, but were later bought by Lil' Romeo, pictured above. I know this because I read it on Wikipedia.

Palimpsest. A keeper not only

Palimpsest. A keeper not only for its utility -- it encapsulates in a few syllables thousands of priceless objects that you'd otherwise need at least a paragraph to describe -- but for its near-unpronounceability.

People who use the word as a metaphor, however, are insufferably pretentious snobs whom I'd probably punch if they tried it in the same room I was in. Much as I admire the word, I've never once said it aloud to another human being. Still, I look forward to doing so if I get the right opportunity. To my surprise and delight, I did see a newspaper article about a palimpsest last year.

I shall host a krioboly to appease the word-gods for your forsaking words you deem unworthy. Even the lowliest words can be locupletative.
