I thought "chewable" and a few others were good (under an assortment of user names), too... but I've seen schproing used quite a few times over the years.
@Baybreeze Acerbic means sharply or bitingly critical, sarcastic, or ironic in tone, mood, or temper. Literally, it describes a sour, bitter, or astringent taste (like biting into an unripe lemon); figuratively, it describes speech or writing that is clever but harsh and cutting.
@Baybreeze It's origin is uncertain, possibly French or Hebrew. It's meaning could be described as much ado about nothing; a commotion or uproar over something of small significance. I used to upbraid my kids when they were getting out of hand "What is this brouhaha?"
Conflate. I had never heard the word until Brian Williams was suspended and removed as NBC News Anchor for admittedly having conflated his memories of two experiences covering a war zone. We tend to do it more frequently that we like to admit -- particularly as we grow older -- so probably why it isn't widely used. But it is a perfect description.
