I love a good new word

I learnt a new word this weekend, and one so rare that even my Compact OED couldn't furnish a definition ... courtesy of the great nation of Canada and one George Galloway MP, the word 'infandous' entered my vocabulary.

And having Googled "define: infandous" and got only the mysterious message "No definitions were found for infandous", I must take the newspaper's word for it that the true meaning is "too odious to be expressed or mentioned".

Excellent, I love a good new word. And, incidentally, also liking the anonymous government spokesman's description of Galloway as a "street-corner Cromwell"...
