outbound x = 1 x = 2

evaluating using Jeremy Hilton's' list:

  1. is a real word
  2. For me - in python - it would mean: Is found in 'outer' scope and is already bound. And the literal meaning of 'outbound 'headed away' [1] is pretty darn close to what I mean when I spell the usual mutables kluge.

3 statement is positive form 4. I like it

could not find a use of outbound in python source (2.4.3)
