Grok.

From a Heinlein novel. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw it used the other day. Misspelled.  >:(

Fob.

Apparently, a word for keychain. It was used in the computer game Fallout, and both there, and elsewhere, it is erroneously acronymized as "FOB", although it is a proper word: Fob.

I used "sub judice" in my appellate brief and my professor admitted to having to Google it.  To me that feels like a win, but he felt I should have dumbed it down :(

NEGs to your prof for wanting you to "dumb down" an intellectual exercise.

Is this lametard asking you to eliminate Latin from the voice of law?  If so, he may have forgotten from whence a large portion of modern day law comes.

Yes, I agree.  What's the point of getting a law degree if I can't use it to talk down to people ;)
