			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>verb</em>. To extract with a forceps.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Wrapped up in the womb of this or that text of Scripture to be <strong>exforcipated</strong> by the logico-obstetric skill of High Church doctors.</em><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Literary remains</span>, Samuel T. Coleridge (1838)</p></blockquote>
<p>The example above uses the word in a figurative sense, just as most other users of this word should do&#8230; unless you have some forceps handy. Do you have some forceps handy?</p>
<p>Besides having a great <em>mouthfeel</em> to it, <strong>exforcipate</strong> has a wonderful definition. I foresee it becoming very useful. I also foresee the Sun setting tonight, the Sun rising tomorrow morning, more jokes about Paris Hilton, bad movies coming out of Hollywood, and the world coming to an endoscope!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t try to <strong>exforcipate</strong> any meaning out of that last sentence. You&#8217;ll be wasting your time; just like trying to <strong>exforcipate</strong> meaning from the speeches of the politicians you see on TV (The politicians you don&#8217;t see on TV don&#8217;t make much sense either).</p>
<p>Hm, maybe I should go into politics.</p>
