I was having fun recently with the word "surfeiting" from an early 17th century text.

Did a meme with picture of Sean Penn from the end of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where he's flanked by attractive females, and redefines it as: "Surfeiting is like, when you're hanging 10, and then you screw up, and go from 'tasty' waves to 'tasting' waves."

Words, like code, corrode in the absence of maintenance.
