Good Lord. Who used "coronated"? Sounds like an undignified medical procedure.

Even we over educated handwringing lefties are entitled to opinions. Btw, no one coronates coppers. Silly sausage.

I think your point was no one coronates anyone!
RE: ARGHHHHH!!! There is no such word... - Oh_hunnihunni - 08-05-2023
It could be interpreted that way. But perhaps my point was simply that 'crowned' was the better choice.

Coronated. Verb. After a "Sure thing" investment goes to the "Likely Fate" everyone else prophesied, the process of trading in your Lexus on an elderly Toyota Corona.

"Urinate".... bit like a "V8" but smaller, really just a "wee wee car"
