The word originated in a 1978 advertisement for a Mockingboard, which “makes frogs croak, princesses shriek, and martians zxnrbl.”

“Please excuse any rules, laws, or commandments, as they may have encountered zxnrbl on being explained to you. Furthermore, you are responsible for following the laws that you may have zxnrbled. Last, any failure to follow the laws may result in financial penalties and or forfeiture of personal freedoms. (They never seem to have trouble making that last sentence crystal clear.)

But. But. It’s not sort of made up 😖 I even posted a link to Dictionary.com 😰 Just to prove that I wasn’t full of it 😇
