Word.

On this date in 1779 Peter Mark Roget, physician, inventor and lexicographer who created the Thesaurus, is born in London.

We commemorate this event with a shirt — more products from this line here — bearing a word unlikely to be found in Roget's book — kltpzyxm — a reference to a Superman comic book imp/villain named Mister Mxyzptlk who would be involuntarily transported back to his home — the fifth dimension — for a minimum of ninety days if he said or spelled his name backwards: Kltpzyxm.
