insegrevious
I see several definitions purporting that "insegrevious" was invented in the 1980s. Absolutely not true. Gary Owens used this regularly on his KMPC radio show in Los Angeles, which I used to listen to avidly as a boy every weekday evening in the early 1960s. His sign-off was "Insegreviously yours, Gary Owens". By the time I entered junior high school in 1968 I had heard him use "insegrevious" so enough I had begun using it myself to kid around with my classmates. This predated Rowan and Martin´s "Laugh In" (which started in 1968), on which Gary Owens played himself and again often used "insegrevious"), by several years. Regarding the idea that Adam West first used the word in a 1967 episode of "Batman" (which I also watched regularly as a boy), this hardly seems likely. The Gary Owens radio show was immensely popular in LA, and I would bet my bottom dollar that West (or the Batman writers) picked it up from there.
Now, whether Gary Owens picked it up from somewhere else prior to his years at KMPC (starting in 1962), I wouldn´t know.
And of course it is merely a nonsense word, probably coined by Owens to poke fun at people who used words they didn´t actually understand.

insegrevious
Nonsense word, primarily used as an adjective but meaning whatever the speaker wants it to mean. Invented by legendary KMPC DJ Gary Owens in the 60s. He used this, along with several others like "creeble" and "grelb," during his radio show, but none were as popular as "insegrevious", which was briefly included in the Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary (until they found out they'd been duped). This in turn gave rise to the phrase "look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls", heard often on Laugh-In, on which Gary was the hand-on-the-ear announcer in the booth.
The other story about Chuck Ferguson and "Simon Says" is clearly wrong, as Laugh-In started in 1968 and "insegrevious" and the Funk & Wagnalls listing had already happened then. The "Simon Says" pilot didn't happen until 1971.
