'SUCKTITUDE INCARNATE'

On a site I'm too embarrassed to admit I visit, I read a post from a man who described a movie as "sucktitude incarnate," which made me LOL, IYKWIM. Something about that pleasing twist of words evokes memories of reading Marvel's Dr. Strange comics when I was a kid (I don't follow Strange anymore; the title peaked creatively in the hands of Terry Austin back in the 80s). Strange's world was rich with phrases in which strong nouns preceded their adjective -- sorceror supreme, for example. The poster's twisting of an idea -- evil incarnate -- by making it hip with a totally made up word that's funny. Well, it cracked me up.
