slunched

Submitted by Ben Cairns "slunched" is a metaplastic word that juxtaposes the passive defeat and surrender of "slumped" against the more active bending or drawing up of "hunched". Proper usage: "Ben sat slunched over his desk, ready to apply himself to the test he knew he was sure to fail".

This word should go into the dictionary immediately. It has basis that makes sense and once put into play will find common use by regular folks. I have already used it once today!
