Word of the day

Who knows where words come from? Here's one that's been getting a lot of usage around Fringe HQ lately.

BORNTRAGER
born-TRAY-ger
(verb, -ed, -ing)
from the Latin "duggles borntraegorus"

def:To call the box office and trick Alex into thinking you're a 90-year-old woman with a very long list of highly involved questions about Fringe; to possess a phone voice that is very believably that of a 90-year-old woman; to be a righteous production manager that everybody loves to have around.
