Etymology: From confused + adultery + rage

COMMENTS:

The above sentence is not meant to be autobiographical in any sense whatsoever. I just wanted to avoid using a gendered pronoun, and I got tired of trying to think of an elegant way of doing so in the third person. Thankfully, I've never had to feel confudulterage before, and hopefully I never will. - ErWenn, 2007-06-01: 03:55:00
