  A word in his sleep many years ago to describe a horribly mismatched, ugly
  outfit someone was wearing in his dream. He looked at the person and said,
  "Now that's and amablasion!" Upon waking he searched the Webster's
  unabridged dictionary, but found no matching entry. We have used this word for
  many years in our family. It is especially fitting to describe some of the outfits
  our girls have put together, once they began dressing themselves.
