Well, I used to know what it means, but I haven’t seen the word (or its definition) in years and years (and when you get older like me, you start running out of ‘active memory’ and have to put rarely used info in ‘archival storage’.

ANYWAY, let’s break this down: the root of the word is “establishment” – aka ‘The Man’. Then you’ve got “dis-” in front of it, so “disestablishment” is ‘bring down The Man’, and “anti-” makes it ‘stop the bringing down of The Man’…then you’ve “-arian” which is roughly ‘one who is of or in support of’, and then “-ism” which is ‘some object or action of the {root}’.

…

So “antidisestablishmentarianism” comes out to be “something done or said by one who is against the breaking down of the status quo”?

*whew*

This makes me wonder what the King and Queen are like…

Hey, if this potion works properly, she won’t even CARE!

That’s a little harsh. I know a lot of very bright people with poor vocabulary (or who can’t spell) and a lot of well-educated people with poor critical reasoning skills.

But I’m with you on the Royals not being very bright. That’s what you get when cousins marry.

It is a good indicator. I’d argue that the whole Royal family is not very bright.

The unstable Potion of Virility made changes to people without affecting their clothing. I think instead of making clothes vanish it may have given ‘her’ some very big boobs, which we know Albert is a fan of.

Look at his face again. He’s DROOLING at what he sees. He’s VERY happy with the results of this potion (as long as someone ELSE drinks it).

In some ways, he already is one.

The difference between their levels of nastiness is sometimes rather subtle…

Albert is such a little bastard…

It seems like the potion turned the peeping tom into something Albert finds delightful to see… But why would it turn him into a naked woman? Is that the nature of its instability?
