Interesting word, Grogie.

ingeminate
[L. ingeminatus, p. p. of ingeminare to double; pref. in- in + geminare. See Geminate.] To redouble or repeat; to reiterate. Clarendon.

That geminate link says:
[L. geminatus, p.p. of genimare to double. See Gemini.] (Bot.) In pairs or twains; two together; binate; twin; as, geminate flowers. Gray. [/url]

But I'm seeing a pun in your sentence, about his density towards inGEMination. :lol:

"Let me ingeminate, I am not a crook."
The "5 Cs": cut, clarity, color, carat, crook.
Useful terms for anyone planning a term on "the" rock.
