ectoplasmological

adj. Goopy and spooky. May cause ibby-jibbies.

Related terms: ectoplasmology, ectoplasmologist.

Real citation: “Ectoplasmological testing is useless in this case instance. Now if you want to talk UV light testing procedures of Stradivari's varnishes and surface preparaions, bring it on. Make sure you've got plenty of experience before you start running your mouth, though.”

Made-up citation: "My dog is losing hair, and the vet can't figure out why... What if his problem is more ectoplasmological than parasitical? Might be time to try the exorcism tongs."
