Thursday Word Day: Absquatulate

Happy #ThursdayWordDay, word nerds! 

As soon as I saw this word, I thought ABSQUATULATE! like it was a superpower I was invoking. I figured it had to be either that or some foul bodily function. Not to worry---I was wrong on both accounts. Now that I know the meaning, I wouldn't call it a superpower, but I will say that one should always know when to do it. 

Dictionary.com says, "absquatulate: verb. to flee; abscond." 

I guess absquatulate could be a superpower if you use it instead of GTFO and the troll actually leaves. Ha.
