My Word
There's a new series on AMC--in fact, I think it's the only one they've ever had--Mad Men. It's set in the 1960's world of advertising.
A lot of it is about capturing the period. The look, yes, but especially the different attitudes----sexism, racism and everyone smoking. (I did catch one anachronism--a character said "waiting on".)
Anyway, the ad men are trying to sell a laxative, and one comes up with the term "satisfeculent."
Hmm. I came up with this word a year ago. Does Matthew Weiner read Pajama Guy?

Did they use the "dump" line?
It's 1960, there are limites.
EVERYone reads Pajama Guy.
This might be AMC's second series. I seem to remember they once had a series that took place at a radio station during the 30s-40s (I know -- you hate it when people can't get their decades straight but I honestly can't recall right now.) This was back when AMC was commercial-free and very much a nostalgia channel.
Yes, you're right. I now recall back when I used to watch AMC (I stopped when they added commericals) they had a nostalgic comedy series about a fictional radio station.
It was called Remember WENN, I believe. I think they had other series, too, though none as heavily promoted as Mad Men.
