But the word "agog" was or is the word of the day. And one of the usage examples is: Kobe Bryant left the Minnesota Timberwolves agog after a series of eye-popping moves in a game last week. --New York Times, February 5, 1998.

The other example, which follows the Kobe Bryant example, is: He was now so interested, quite so privately agog, about it, that he had already an eye to the fun it would be to open up to her afterwards. --Henry James, The Ambassadors.

Call me a dork, but I thought it was humorous.

And as added confirmation of that last statement, I offer the following. I heard an interview of the author of a book about baseball gloves on NPR yesterday morning. And maybe I found it interesting only because I tried to play baseball when I was younger, but questions started bubbling up through the ooze that passes itself off as a brain in my head: 1) What is the most important piece of equipment that a baseball catcher wears? 2) You are catching, Pedro Martinez is pitching, and Barry Bonds is batting -- what piece of equipment will you go without: mask, glove, or protective cup?
