You will have a tough
time running it down

You got that right. I thought, heck, no problem. But Partridge doesn't have it. OED doesn't have it. I wonder whether it ever was an accepted word. Google can't find it anywhere. I suspect somebody just made it up somewhere along the way. Which is fine, I do that myself sometimes. Shakespeare did it a lot, and who am I to turn up my nose at what Shakespeare did? But then we get into the debate over what really is a word and what isn't.
