punctu-gression

noun. If you think improperly used semi-colons don't hurt anyone, try sticking one straight up your wang.

Real citation: "@DrObvious Tweet fighting would entail somethings called 'nimble finger tactics' and 'punctu-gression', I imagine. I really could be wrong."

Made-up citation: "I have a real tendency toward punctu-gression. I once killed a man with only three commas and an em dash. And that man had a family!"
