Vocabulary

I have watched Arrested Development enough times now that today I had to look up "circumvent" to make sure that I was using it correctly. I was confused once I recalled G.O.B.'s declaration that the Bluth company should "cicumverent" union penalties, or that he intends to "circumvrent" his mother as he steps past her to leave the room.

The meaning I wanted was "to avoid by artful maneuvering," which is a real and correct definition, after all.
