plonqToday I told one of my co-workers that "gullible" isn't a real word. He was sceptical.
Him: What do you mean it's not a real word? People use it all the time.
Me: We may use it, but it's not a proper English word. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Him: (Jumping to his favourite dictionary web site. Triumphantly...) Here it is, "Gullible"
Me: Oh? What's the definition?
Him: Easily deceived or... you sneaky bastard!
Huzzah! It's been years since that trick last worked.
