Dagnabbit, sometimes you just can't have the perfect hand to bid 1N.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

So a "Bushism" has made its way to our humble forum. I recognize "precedent", Bush's old job. And I will not challenge "cromulent" which is unfamiliar.
