Lawrence Friedman is a lawyer who deals with global trade legal matters. He is a Partner in the Chicago firm, Barnes/Richardson, although the following is not to be linked to his firm.
He’s decided to invent a new word, a noun with meaning and usage that is rather active and easy to remember. I thought I would share it with Cryptomundians, as I know you’ll want to start using it.
Friedman was writing about trade, trucks and such with Mexico, and penned this gem:
Much like every episode of MonsterQuest, I don’t have a conclusion here. Just some theories and a limited amount of time and money to spend contemplating them….
Side note: I propose to start using “MonsterQuest” as a synonym for “inconclusive,” “unfinished,” or “impossible.” For example, “Mrs. Jones, the results of your pregnancy test were a MonsterQuest.” Or, “Don’t bother looking for that golf ball, its a MonsterQuest.”
I sincerely like MQ, so it may surprise you to hear I think this is beautiful, concise, and a good-natured way to look at what’s going on here. After all, in all those interviews I do for reality documentaries on cryptozoology, it sure would save time. Can’t you see it now? I could answer that irritating reporter who has asked me for the fifth time the same question, by just politely noting, “Oh, the result from that cryptid hair sample test was a MonsterQuest.”
The evolved use of the new noun might allow the in-crowd, someday, to respond to questions about samples without a type specimen, more quickly, by exclaiming, “Hey, that feather was a MQ.”
BTW, I feel compelled to add his disclaimer.
Important Disclaimer: None of this is legal advice, don’t act on it. The opinions herein are completely personal. Don’t ascribe them to my law firm, its partners or clients. Don’t steal from my blog. I wrote it, I own it. But, feel free to link to me.
I hope Mr. Friedman understands my fair use quoting of his terminological usage, so I would get this historically significant coining correctly recorded.
