Asiten.

Many months ago I coined the word "asiten" which is one more than asinine.

This morning I clicked on a link from Fortune magazine and I got this message:

"Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server."

Couldn't someone just have written "this link is temporarily broken"?

  1. Hmm. I guess asileven doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

  2. A whole lot of them in one country would be Asinations? Very different then us Asinadians, we're liked.

  3. You didn't coin asiten!

    I've been saying that for years, and I'm sure I heard it from somewhere else. Somebody already defined it 2 years ago on urban dictionary, which disappointed me when I discovered it and couldn't lay claim to it. I also remember a fake celebrity interview bit Conan O'Brien had with Arnold Schwarzenegger, where Conan referred to something Arnold said as "asinine," and Arnold retorted "You are an ass-nine! No, you are an ass-ten!"

    Anyway, sorry to burst your creative bubble.
