scenes from my office

Officemate, in ironic tones: "Huh. Surprisingly, the dictionary doesn't recognize 'thesaurification' as a real word."
Me: "You amaze me!" *hyena-like laughter*
...followed by some discussion of verbification which is actually nounification of a non-existent verb that had to be verbified from something else. Officemate allows as how maybe he shouldn't be too surprised at the dictionary's intransigence. It's always nice when I get to quote Much Ado About Nothing.
