To give credit where it's due, the word is due to one David Moser, who
devised the following pair of sentences:

1)  This sentence contains only one nonstandard English flutzpah.

2)  This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the
    overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context.

The sentences were reprinted by Douglas Hofstadter in >Metamagical Themas<,
p. 15, and from there adopted into general hacker slang, sometimes in the
solecistic form "glarked".
