Has the list noticed the new perfect word for frustrated climatologists and epidemiologists:  Cassandrafreude.  This is like labradoodle, another "portmanteau" word.  One definition offered is "the bitter pleasure of things going wrong in exactly the way you predicted but no one believed you when it could have made a difference."  Any other suggested definitions?  You go, Nick!
