That paragraph is fantastic, and I will be sure to slip griffonage into a conversation sometime soon.

There are times when I read my own griffonage that even I don't know what I wrote. It is particularly annoying when I am in the grocery store and there are three things on my list that I cannot decipher. It means another trip to the grocery store when I find out that I don't have what I need.
