mock-superlative nonce-word modelled on the Sherman brothers' "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (popularized in the 1964 film Mary Poppins), into which a situational phrase is inserted and the closing element resolved to a rhyming noun in -state. In the headword: super- (intensive prefix) + kirki- (the fixed scaffolding syllables of the template) + blizzard + -rific (variant of -rrific, as in terrific) + expiali- (carried over unchanged from the model word) + snow + state. The recurring frame is Superkirki-[situation]-expiali-[noun]state, the slot noun typically rhyming on -ow (snow, slow, glow, blow) or echoing it (prostrate). Coined by Professor Sendy.
