unbwogable
adj.— «Standing in front of me is Frans, grinning from ear to ear, decked out in brand-new, full-out safari gear from head to toe, down to a khaki peacock hat.…All I could muster was, “Frans, have you lost your mind?”…He shrugged, “what can I say, I am unbwogable.” “Unbwogable” is the slang word popularized as of late by an oft-played radio song here. So translated, he said, “what can I say. I let the dogs out. woof, woof woof.” This was a bad omen.» —“Skeletons + Outtakes” by Capt. Wogan Molars Jan. 28, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
