Have clearly been bamboozled over the years with all the people using it to refer to other stuff - have to admit it's one I've never bothered using in a report, along with many other words, since I suspect the average client prefers things explained in plain English in reports (but never dumbed-down, they don't like that!). Might have to work it in to one sometime, not used a good word yet this year (last year's high point was 'frustum')
