Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

Teflon: Not what you think it is.

Chenthil and I, in what is now practiced ease for us, came up with a new addition to the modern English dictionary.

Teflon.

We are still debating the nuances (finer nuances?) of this particular word, but I hope the following chat transcript makes its meaning clear for you good folks.

There you have it. Teflon – the verb, the adverb, the adjective, the noun and the gerund. And, if I may say so, a brilliant gerund.

P.S. Unfortunate as it is, I had to take His Name in vain. The He in this post is not Him, but his representative on earth.
