Ah - there you are, Jack. Yes, that first link was where I found the word. I wondered whether it was a variation of intermiscible and tried to link it to the text, but without success. Since you're here, can you enlighten me?
Do respond. At the moment we are amusing one another and having fun, which is the purpose of this forum and you wouldn't want Jayne to think you are cutting corners and lock it like she did to Worst Case Scenarios three years ago. Come on in, Jack.
My own subtitle - Intrinsically Evanescent - was a reference to the ephemeral quality of so many of your threads. You do keep deleting them (as you did with Dozer mand, Dozer man !!) so I stole this one and froze it, to keep it alive.

The person who composed “introscimible” is French and may have confused it with “intermiscible,” ( evidently a French word ). My auto spell checker does not like “intermiscible”. ( Erato underlines it in red )

The meaning of this may be flying right over my head and I apologize for asking if that’s the case, but why did you post this? I’ve spent some time trying to crack the code but keep coming up clueless. Is this meant to be a poem? It's clearly a list of names. It’s posted on Drills & Amusements so it could be a few things: “Funny & serious poetry exercises (metrical and non-metrical poetry); Funny and serious Fiction and Art exercises.”
I’ve combed the list of names and can’t detect anything that gives it cohesion. The only thing I get from it is shape.
Again, if I’m exposing myself to be ignorant of something then I’m ok with that. It happens from time to time : )

Thank you, Jack. I was wondering about "intermiscible" because miscibility indicates the property of substances to mingle to form - a solution.
The addition of the prefix "inter" pushed me toward the assumption that individual components of the poem might be so combined, rather than taken as a whole.
I tend, though, to the opinion expressed in comment #8, while sharing Jim's confusion, but will give you the benefit of the doubt.
And so, since you are titling your poem in French, I challenge you in the words of Léo Ferré - Poète! Vos papiers!

Great concept for a serial killer poem. Irremiscible?
