untieable knot n 1. A Catholic marriage. 2. A "one-way" knot, that, once fixed, cannot be released. 3. The product or result of an irreversible decision, esp. one concerning a thorny issue. 4. A used noose. 5. The original slogan for superglue, apparently adapted from portions of Gnomic entrance ritual. 6. An un-makable configuration -- quite simply, a knot that cannot be tied.
