Agogatech: /uh-GOG-uh-tek/ Irascable Ira Gobler was perpetually AGOGATECH because his boys in R&D were quite prolifically producing a plethora of plastic playthings, electronic exotica, rubber replicas and extremely dangerous yet undeniably appealing appliances.

In fact, he was constantly AGOGATECH! Etymology: AGOG-pleasantly mystified+AT+Tech(nology)
