Boring expository explanation yielding what appears to be actual facts but is really a terse command to look it up yourself.
 Authorial chuckle followed by a shrug. Boring expository explanation about the term being related to an old child's game that turns words into dollar values (the letter "a" is worth a cent, "b" is two cents, etc. and that the value of the word is merely the sum of the values of the letters). A further lecture about how "ten-dollar word" merely means a LONG word.
