Maybe I should have added a coupld footnotes to one of my earlier posts
in this thread. -meku is one of those things that has a -ashii
derivation, so (providing it's Japanese at all--I suspect it isn't) 社長
の皮肉めかしい言い方 would be, I suppose, "the boss' sarcastic-ish-ish
way of speach."
I also recall that this item came up for discussion here not long ago,
where it was pointed out that it had achieved full verbdom in the
(pseudo-)causative form めかす ＝ "deck oneself out."
