I know somebody here has already taken these words right out of my mouth, but the platypus is living proof that God has a sense of humor. And I had no idea they made such a squeal-inducing sound!

Debra,
According to the CO glossary…

Prosh

Precious + Posh. Yikes.

(NOTE — I might be wrong on this one… I’ve been told that “posh” isn’t actually part of it. You know how “Freshman” sometimes gets shortened into “Frosh?” Ergo, “Precious” –> “Prosh.” I’ve never seen “special” –> “sposh” though… anyhow, I like Lewis Carroll’s portmanteau method better; f’rinstance he invented “Chortle” by mashing “Chuckle” and “Snort” together in the Jabberwocky poem. – Theo)
