Dan337 commented on the word crotalophorus

Example:
In Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol (page 219), Iain Gately quotes the July 17, 1974 Virginia Chronicle:
Here then is the source from whence sic all your sedition flows, and until those crotalophorus and ostentiferous institutions are disconcantinated — and the individuals who compose them experience a decollation — their querulous bombilations and debulitions will never cease to obnubilate the prospects of their superiors.”
