"backordered"

let me add to that "delay" and all netflixites will cringe (I'm sure someone will add "*-ites" the list) ;D at the phrase "long wait".  Heck with it, I hate the word "wait". ;D

IMO, there are very few words one can use to sound more like a big doofus than "methinks."   No offense intended if it is a regular part of your vocabulary, Dave; in which case I'm sure you're an exception.

Guestimate.
A guess is an estimation, an estimate a guess: what more do you need?
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Of.

When used immediately after should, could or would. But I only notice this usage within the Web.
