I got this in a newsletter:

>UNLADDA (adjective). A grade of gasoline.
>Usage: "I'm gonna fill up my new truck with unladda."
I usually guess the meaning with help of the usage
example, but this one beats me. :)

... I cannot combine any characters that the divine Library
has not foreseen, which in some of its secret tongues do not
bear some terrible meaning. No-one can articulate a syllable
not filled of caresses and fears; which is not, in some one
of those languages, the powerful name of a god...
