I believe you have successfully summed up Jack Kerouac in a single sentence. Good for you!
But, God, yes. The more research I did on Jack Kerouac the more I wanted to shove a potato in his exhaust pipe (not a euphemism). By the end up the project I absolutely hated the guy; I was literally growling as I typed up the conclusion. Though I discover a love for Allen Ginsberg, though, so this project has not been a complete wash.
But... it's a word. How do you not have a word in a dictionary, no matter obscure it may be? And calling it "obscure" is stretching it; I can safely say that I use "homoerotic" far more than I do "puerile", and yet the latter is in SpellCheck, and the former isn't.

It simply boggles my mind.
