I always loved the cartoon of the guy lazing on the couch, looking up at his perturbed wife, and saying "I'm leader of the greatest nation on earth! Procrastination!"

I'm just messin', but I can say the same thing about 95% of the ultra rare three-letter words I find.

Don't tell Rudy Guliani or Mike Lindell or they might get Sidney Powell on my case.
Noboka, the Lobster reference if from the Christmas classic, "Love Actually". (one of the children has a role in the school Nativity scene as "number 1 Lobster").

I think that qualifies for strange and bizarre, but would have to know your family to know if it qualifies as unexpected. I feel I may have been usurped though...

Ooops... don't know who Willy and Ethyl are... after my time likely as nothing much was before other than the dinosaurs.

Sorry for the *very* late response, I don't know if the number of boards like that has decreased since that purge a while back. I never thought of this, but would that be the longest rare word ever? I like to "collect" long rare words as I have found them to be more challenging than ultra rares. (Although I will gladly take an ultra rare)
BTW I just LOVE your avatar, is it a wren or a hummingbird?

I found this today. It's always a good feeling to take on a game with 40 previous plays and still beat the best/longest record. I wonder if 40 plays is now the threshold to recycle games. I don't recall seeing anything higher than that recently.

Nope, none of the above. I dutifully went and checked everyone's suggestions, but nada... I have the clipping somewhere, so the answer exists in that same somewhere.

This word made me lol when it was accepted. I almost talked myself out of even trying it but I reasoned the prefix was there for a reason: KLEPTOPARASITICAL (33/17). KLEPTOPARASITISM is defined as "Noun. The parasitic theft of captured prey, nest material, etc. from animals of the same or another species."
