<sweeping hat off head in deep bow to zxcvbob> Wonderful word! I love,
love, love it! I had never heard this word before and I am happily
stuffing it into one of the few working synapses left in my brain, for
retention. When I was in college, my sorority sisters used to call me
Dictionary Terry <sniff!> If they could only see how the mighty have
fallen. I have a book on etymology at work and am gonna look it up
tomorrow. Oh, joy! I love learning new words.

Kleptocracy <smile> I always wanted to know a perfect one-word
definition for the current US administration.
