loggerheaded

In these islands a great loggerheaded duck or goose (Ana brachyptera), which sometimes weighs twenty-two pounds is very abundant.

Although she conceded it may not work too well to shout something like "Loggerheaded fat-kidneyed fustilarian!" in traffic or any other modern day altercation: "It'd take a little while to get your point across."

Because some audience members are poets who might equally have been giving the talk (some of whom did, elsewhere in the series), the effect is to dialogize poetics itself, to render it as a contested discursive space (a space primarily of investigation than of loggerheaded assertions).
