A most creative sentence to go with your brilliant word!

Tequimail: /-təˈkiˌmeil-/ Tequimail is the most dangerous of all forms of drunken internet usage: not quite as incoherently dismissible as bourblogging, more damagingly personal than margareplies, easier to slip into than mai typos, and more common than champosting. Etymology: from tequila + e-mail Created by: ErWenn.

I think it the same boy, having killed his mother and father, threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan! But after all an autobiography is a popular form of fiction in which the writer is always the hero! Interesting word.
