Much as acronyms annoy me, here's a new one. "hjta" = hijack time again.
the worthless word for the day is: momist

/MOM ist/ a fault-finder [obs]

from Momus, the Greek god of ridicule, who for
his judgments of the gods was banished from heaven;
hence a fault-finder, a captious critic

a daughter, disciple or son of Momus is a facetious
or humorously disagreeable person; a wag, a buffoon

This hijack was double-barreled, as it led me to my dictionary, and I found:

Mome, malt-horse, capon, coxcomb, idiot, patch!
Either get thee from the door or sit down at the hatch.
- Shakespeare, Comedy of Errors

According to an old legend, the first man was made by Zeus, the first bull by Poseidon, and the
first house by Athene. On the completion of their labors, a dispute arose as to which had made
the most perfect work. They agreed to appoint Momos as judge, and to abide by his decision.
Momos, however, being very envious of the handicraft of each, found fault with all. He firstblamed
the work of Poseidon because he had not made the horns of the bull below his eyes, so he might
better see where to strike. He then condemned the work of Zeus, because he had not placed
the heart of man on the outside, that everyone might read the thoughts of the evil disposed and
take precautions against the intended mischief. And, lastly, he inveighed against Athene because
she had not contrived iron wheels in the foundation of her house, so its inhabitants might more
easily remove if a neighbor proved unpleasant. Zeus, indignant at such inveterate faultfinding,
drove him from his office of judge, and expelled him from the mansions of Olympos."
-Aesop's Fables 59 (from Babrius)

she had not contrived iron wheels in the foundation of her house

Well, we fixed that one, didn't we.

Zeus, indignant at such inveterate faultfinding,
drove him from his office of judge, and expelled him from the mansions of Olympos.

Well, yeah--that goes without saying.

Not all mothers are as wonderful as mine was, but I doubt that there is a need for a word
I; found in my dictionary "Momism" - blaming mothers for tje inadequacy of some children.
It may be true that many firstborne children get excessive discipline, and their siblings get
less because the mother hasn't as much time to dominate them. My sife compplained of that.
