Reebusacassafram

A nonsense word popularized by the podcast Freakonomics that was allegedly used by a former Dean of Students at Dartmouth College as a catchall phrase when he wasn't sure what someone had said to him. The word, though gibberish, is easily misheard for what the listener wants to hear.

"Hey Ben, did you catch the big game?"
"Reebusacassafram--"

"Yeah, it was pretty exciting, wasn't it?"
