09.20.04: Fasmatasmic!

A week ago, if you were to google fasmatasmic, you would have been presented with only two results.

There are now seven, and not a single one of them references Lance Burton. What the hell is the etymology of this word?

Comments

Maybe Lance is using his mighty Illusionist skills to distance himself from what he once thought would make a good marketing ploy. I'm almost certain that the first and only time I've heard that word was in his commercial. Besides the countless times we've mockingly said it since.

When did that commercial first air? Early 90s?

Your comment on etymology caused me to enter 'phasmatasmic" in google to see if that would come up with anything. And lo and behold...Sitting at #2 : http://www.flummox.com/archives/words/000453.php

that made me laugh.
