To leave quickly or in a hurry; to take oneself off; to decamp; to depart.
Blended jocular mock-Latin word. Arose in America in the 19th century (about 1837). Probably made up of the following parts: The Latin adverb and prefix ab, "away (from)", (maybe taken from abscond), the suffix -ate (maybe taken from perambulate or undulate), and the middle portion, "squatul", which might be a derivation of to squat.
Created from the idea, "go off and squat somewhere," from Latin ab-, "away from" + excoactus, "to sit down" + -ulus, a diminitive suffix + -atus, implying "to do."
A large, stupid word used primarily by liberal arts majors looking to flaunt the size of their dictionary. In the evolutionary tree that is the English language, absquatulates is at the dead-end of a parasite infested branch alongside grandeloquent, inveigle. and socialism.
The liberal arts major chose absquatulates as her email address because it was hard to type and vaguely reminiscent of the sound a duck makes as it's being beaten to death by a rubber chicken.
"..very obstrcperous objections it I feel prettyconfident that when I absquatilate I shall go to a world where they use half a dozen such hemispheres as ours for spitboxes to furnish a single arlour of glory Sam Slick himself d banter puffery."
