Wednesday’s Wordapod
Created by Matthew J. Goldberg, author of Wordapodia, Volume One: An Encyclopedia of Real Fake Words
In these very tough financial times, are we receiving better, more gracious service from employees of such institutions or being victimized by their canbankerous attitudes?
CANBANKEROUS
Canbankerous (adj) – of, or relating to, an ornery employee of a financial institution
Sample Sentence: With my favorite teller on vacation, I knew that I would be waited on by the ever canbankerous Richard.
Observation:
I surveyed all of the co-authors of my book to get their response to the following question: “What makes for a friendly (non-canbankerous) bank employee?” Top factors cited were:
- 1. Nice smile and gracious attitude
- 2. Remembering my name, or something about me
- 3. Ability to make the occasional bank-error-in-my-favor
- 4. Gives me free lollipops
- 5. Prompt service
