I KNOW we should not encourage them but I must confess to being amused by the chap who managed to gatecrash a meeting of Cardinals at the Vatican this week.
Dressed in a cassock which finished a good six inches above his ankles and a pink scarf tied around his waist as an improvised sash, he still managed to get past Vatican security before the fearsome Swiss Guard became suspicious and marched him back outside (to show him they were serious, they even threatened to unsheathe the corkscrew bit of their penknives).
We probably don’t need a word for this kind of monkey-business as it does not happen very often. But, what the hell, let’s celebrate his chutzpah and concoct one anyway. Interloper + Pope = InterPoper. Agreed?
Verdict: Lexicon.
