Holy herb, this herbing stuff is herbing good!

With all the recent (and not so recent) sturm und drang over a certain
astro site and a certain astro dealer, I submit for your review and
consideration, a new word for the amateur astronomy lexicon.

Naturally, inventing a new word, or at least a new usage for an old
word, is a difficult task, fraught with peril and with no guarantee of
success. It's can be a Herculean task that will likely require the
assistance of untold millions, but perhaps we can create the butterfly
effect beginning right here on s.a.a.?

I know you're dying to know the word, but first let me provide some
selling points:

- Usage of same will not bring Michael Powell & the FCC to your door.
- You can use it safely and politely in mixed company.
- No worries about youngsters hearing you use it.
- As with many of the greatest expletives, it's just four letters.
- It's equally benign when used in written or oral form.
- It's a lot easier to spell than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
- Trump can't copyright it.


Suggested uses and exemplar sentences:

"Oh herb! I just drove 300 miles to a star party and forgot my herbing
eyepieces!"

Herb you!

You herbhead!

After dropping an 8 lb. counterpoise weight on your foot, you could
shout, "Oh, herb, herb!!!!"

"That guy is a herbing s.o.b.!"

"Honey, the kids are asleep, wanna herb?"
"Are your herbing crazy!?"

"Dude, this herb I'm smoking is herbing awesome!"

"People who misunderestimate me will be herbed royally!"

"Yeah, I herbed her."

"Why don't you go herb yourself!?"

There is no herbing way I'm going to let your snot-nosed,
sticky-fingered, grubby little kid anywhere near my herbing Takahashi!

"Kiss me before you herb me, you herbing herb!"

"John, what the herb have you been smoking?"

Holy herb, Pops, you HAVE been gettin' herbed again. Mom's going to be
herbing steamed as all herbing get out.

It's your herbing funeral and don't say I didn't herbing warn you.
