rhipidate: (v.) After a discreet interval during which the speaker hopes an unmannerly comment is forgotten or unheard, to turn back and rebuke in a disarmingly genteel manner.
When the obstetrician's wife remarked that she hoped their son would not return from med school in Grenada married to "some black woman," Mrs. Sandhu counted to ten slowly before rhipidating her: "It will indeed be difficult to find someone to treat a boy raised by bigots with love and tenderness." (adapted from a true story)

rhipidate (n) a really bad date.
I once had a rhipidate where the fellow brought me some dollar store chocolate. This I could live with until he started tweaking his nipple at dinner and I felt obliged to run screaming from the restaurant. As I left I noticed he had the other one out and was tweaking that too.

rhipidate (n) An exotic hybrid of the DNA from rhinoceros, hippopotomi and dates. Said to be a great delicacy, only one man is known of who has ever consumed a rhipidate. Sadly, he passed away the following day from severe gastrointestinal distress. As a result, common vernacular has come to replace the word 'stick' with 'rhipidate' when used to indicate an rigid, uncompromising individual.
Common use: "My, he certainly has a rhipidate up his..."

rhipidate v.
To emit a cocophonous fart at the wrong time, e.g during a knighthood ceremony. Rhipidation sounds like a small motorcycle passing, but not enough to be confused with one. |
