More like "my chaps have fallen"

As I continue my 48 hour quest to avoid doing any marker comps until the very last moment, I will present one of the most whimsical sentences ever scripted in an e-mail. I get a word-a-day e-mail every morning...which I highly recommend if for no other reason than the usage sentences. Because, try as they might, "chrestomathy" will never be anything but a large speed bump on the road to understanding. Today's word is "chapfallen," meaning dejected or dispirited. Apparently the word also has connotations of having a coif and crooning to 30 year-old former teeny boppers.

"Jon Bon Jovi, the New Jersey rock 'n' roller, says he's chapfallen
and desolate over rumors that his band is about to break up."
Chris Reidy; Bon Jovi's Funk; Boston Globe; Aug 7, 1990.

I hope this is the sentence they'll use if this ever appears in the national spelling bee. The kid will be all like, "wha?" and the judge will be like "Well, it's your life...it's now or never."
