Thanks for the laugh. The day started out poorly until my spirits were brightened by the wordsmithing.

Retroreflectively reminds me of the fun we had with a certain Bush just a few years ago on cofabulation of language.

I can't say for sure that I've ever gumpuckeyed (or is it gumpuckied)anything, though possibly a few women would disagree.

On the matter of reversals, my wife and I quickly developed the technique of talking on the cellphone (or walkie-talkies) if necessary, as I am backing the r-pod in. It works particularly well with hands-free bluetooth in our Jeep. She stands back there somewhere directing, and I respond.

Much the same for city driving. I drive and watch traffic, while she navigates with the aid of the Garmin GPS, and we both watch traffic signs just to keep "Greta Garmin" honest.

You see, where my wife leads me I will follow. I know my role.

A good helmsman always responds quickly to the captain's orders.

And don't forget to add the word "aye" at the end when repeating the order back. Very important.

A few days ago myself and a couple of work partners were discussing ways to stop a window leak in a vintage railroad passenger coach we were working on. I suggested we "squirt some gumpuckey into the gap." Their response was complete silence for several seconds.

As an English major I gotta love gumpuckey.  As an old Red Green kind of guy and somewhat of a mountain boy, where there are all kinds of wonderful words, I knew instantly what it was even though I don't recall ever hearing it before.  I have lots of it though.  Several different varieties.  So now I have a new word I'll make as of frequent use as practical.  Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment!  It was surprising to me how varied the responses were to gumpucky.  It is, however a fairly common idiomatic expression out here in the West.  Thanks again.  Go forth and gumpucky.

Back in Colorado we had akumpuckey. It had similar characteristics and, I beleive, a similar chemical composition. And it was made in the USA. Still using it today.
