Borbert Leo Nutz.
hoi polloi is hardly odd. it's a rather common "school" vocabulary word borrowed from the Greek phrase relating to the common people or the general population. can't you just imagine little shwartzy sitting there like a child with his dictionary writing out lyrics with a green crayon...
I think hoi polloi is clever and confuses the little 12 year olds wondering, is that an OZ word or an EARTH word.
I like eccyclema
Chiropodist. I've heard that word in three cast recordings (KISS ME, KATE, THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, and NO STRINGS) and it always cracks me up for some reason!

Doo-dle-ee-do (Pippin, Magic to Do)
outuendo ( Wicked)
or maybe
tandum (Wicked....it just doesn't belong in a song

outuendo -- love that.
tandem is a word...why does that not work? I thought it was a pretty clever lyric...
i thought it was the corniest/ stupidest lyric..it works but gag me

you know....that's interesting. because many of the lyrics that I think are most clever are often what others roll their eyes at. I think it's pretty cool when a lyricist inserts an unexpected word that is longer than 2 syllables and is not typical. That's just me.

in the middle of No One Mourns the Wicked:
Ozian: Glinda! Exactly how dead is she?
Glinda: Well, there has been much rumor and speculation... innuendo, outuendo... but let me set the record straight. According to the Time Dragon Clock, the melting occurred at the 13th hour; a direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child. Yes, the Wicked Witch of the West is dead!
