Not true! Nominology is a perfectly respectable and serious
discipline, based on well established scientific principles. Not
knowing the full middle name limits the precision of the reading, but
it does not invalidate the procedure. Exchange syllables between the
given name and surname, consult the red guide to determine which of
the blue volumes to use for the final reading, factor in the Great
Vowel Shift, transliterate to Hebrew, ah, yes, there we go. It turns
out that "Peter T. Daniels" signifies "a big, stinky doodyhead". |

You forgot about the Spanish Inquisition (nobody expects it,
afterall), which banned two "o"s from orbiting each other.
That explains why you came up with "a big, stinky doodyhead" and not
"a big, stinky doidyhead"

I can't think of an example with fewer than two syllables in the
original word, but in "bass-ackwards" the interpolation comes inside
the first one.
That's not an infix ("interpolation") -- it's a Spoonerism.
It's pretty safe to say that NO infix can intervene _within_ a
syllable in English.
[/quote]
On reflection, I think I posted some nonsense about this a while ago,
but I'm willing to try again.
1. "Bass-ackwards" is (IME) much more frequent than the unspoonerized
expression "ass-backwards", which I have heard only rarely and only
in a literal sense (e.g., "I slipped and fell ass-backwards in the
puddle"). OTOH, "bass-ackwards" seems to mean various kinds of "in
the wrong way", not just "in reverse" (e.g., "Stop doing it
bass-ackwards!"); "ass" seems to be an intensifier like "bloomin'".
2. I've also heard "back-asswards" (not sure whether to hyphenate it),
although not very often. Would that count as infixation?
(Random observation: "bass-ackwards" is very difficult for me to
type.)
