asativum commented on the word kelemenope
A straight line through the middle of everything, going nowhere. From the middle of the alphabet. May in fact be spelled kelemenopy, but I prefer the faux Greek form. Coined by John Ciardi, always referred to as "the (late) American poet," but we know him for what he was: a true Wordie.

Love John Ciardi. I have his "A Browser's Dictionary." He kindly submitted poetry to our college literary magazine.

If you can get a copy, the sequel to his Browser's Dictionary is pretty good too, if not quite as good as the original.
