A Blackadder the Third scene in which Dr Johnson delivers his dictionary, which lacks Blackadder's invented insults such as contrafibularity.

Reminds me of the "Black Adder" episode where he meet the pompous inventor of the Dictionary and purposely sets about using made up words just to annoy him. "I shall return interfrastically!" (Relevant Clip Here: ▶ this video )
"I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations." ▶ this video
