| seebezzle - |
(v.) To misappropriate funds entrusted to your care but amounting to less than 1000 financial units [pounds, euros, yen, dollars, shekels, shillingi, whatever). [On analogy with embezzle: Roman numeral M "thousand" as opposed to C "hundred"; thus, M-bezzle and C-bezzle. Theoretically, you could also have an "elbezzle" (L=50), an exbezzle (X=10), and so forth. D-bezzle (D=500) doesn't work, unfortunately, because our prefix "de-" meaning "to undo" sounds like the opposite of embezzle.)

"The final balance is $879,546,213." "Shouldn't it be closer to $900 there at the end?" "Yeah, but it's probably seebezzlement---cheaper to ignore than to track down." "It's still a crime!" "Yes, indeed it is: if you can find the seebezzlers I'll gladly lock 'em away myself." |
