(Improper) nouns

Dear Folks,
To my delight, one amongst you (who prefers to remain un-named) produced a
word based on an otherwise-perhaps-best-left-unidentified anthropologist's
surname, and attached a perfectly good (if perhaps somewhat libelous)
definition. Something along the lines of various word-games that people play
on rainy Saturday afternoons.
Is there scope here for a New Dictionary of Anthropological Terms [(c)
1993 by anthro-l]?
Yours,
James G. Carrier
