Most famously used in the defence, in 1678, of Tom Grumble, who had collected an estimated 234 apples from the trees of Mr Joshua Silverspoon. There was a history of bad feeling between the two, as Silverspoon had had Grumble horsewhipped several years earlier for 'gazing upon my fair daughter and thus tainting her with your very filthiness, you Luciferian peasant'. That said, the evidence seemed well-presented, the judge seemed well-bribed, and the 'guilty' verdict looked certain until Grumble's lawyer, Mr Ebeneezer Feesaregood, stunned the public gallery by declaring 'My client wishes to plead sphairistike'. The jury accepted that Grumble thought himself, by way of ancient satute, to be technically on the village green and found in his favour, and it is believed that it was this decision that led to the following summer's 'Apple Rebellion', when orchards owners across England would wake to find their trees bereft of fruit.

protoclastic

excellent stuff.

protoclastic: pertaining to a primordial educational system, characterized by the use of cave walls as blackboards and field trips to hunt for wooly mammoths. (edit: might you mean proteoclastic?)

conodonts

Conodonts

Word used by popular singer/gyrater Prince during his most crazy period of the 90s, simply meaning doughnut. He would ask his agent to go get him "conodonts", and would ALWAYS accompany the word with an affirmative hand gesture as conducted by Patrick Stewart in Star Trek.
