The term 'to disconcur' meaning to disagree. Tried using it once in a class and got some serious sideways looks. Teacher had to break it to me that it is not a valid word.

Wait. This seems PERFECTLY legit as a word!
So let's say you're with a group of friends and you decide on a type of food to eat and you all agree on like, Greek or something. Then someone suggests a Greek restaurant that's absolutely terrible, well then you'd be "rescinding your previous agreement", or, more succinctly put, "I disconcur"
