Agathokakological--Willie's birthday word


Agathokakological 
means
 Made up of Both Good and Evil

When the other kids complain that Auntie Mary is evil, Willie stands up for her: "She's not evil," he says. "She's agathokakological!" That stops 'em.

Thanks to http://www.factacular.com/subjects/Interesting_Words for the excellent word.
