Remarkable self control

    You’re a giant, a universal model of rectitude. Really.

    Besides, I don’t think you’d like being thrown into Irondequoit Creek.

    “Rectitude” is one of those words that really, really ought to mean something other than what it does.

    It ought to mean a quality one commonly finds in Stanford MBAs.

    You mean “of or having the quality of being a rectum”?

    Close: I had in mind a portmanteau of “rectal” and “attitude.”
