LOL
I want to say it's something like "suspension of" something (not
disbelief).
I also want to say that Tex Avery coined the term in question.

Yeah, that's a great site. I'm now wondering if I saw the term in a toon-

the term I'm thinking of.
Agh! This is going to drive me NUTS!

Aha! Found it: The "plausible impossible" is what I'm thinking of, and
apparently Walt Disney coined the term.

There's something to be said for the fact that they generally never spoke
and still managed to be entertaining. Speech is overrated. :-)

True, but it would have been a lot harder to start this thread using a
Wile E. Coyote & Roadrunner reference.
