I think that needs a new type of trophy altogether. This is the way it stacks up: JazzO is chief resident etymythologist, and the only person we would trust with whole words; I have decided my forte lies in interpretative etymythology (basically I don't know Latin or French so I make up the translations); you, my friend, are an etymythographer, the Homer of the etymyth, so long us you can make it punny.

Three cheers for our new etymythographer, the laurel wreath and white toga are yours...

BTW: Enigma is certain that all those ety-thingies need to be replaced by eucalyptus.

Shanks suggested: BTW: Enigma is certain that all those ety-thingies need to be replaced by eucalyptus.

And that, of course, may be the answer. Send the whole lot to Oz. They have a lot of desert, and wouldn't even notice an entire spacecraft full of ety-thingies setting up shop replacing themselves with eucalypts. Their creed would, of course, be (bringing threads together) Itzemism. They would raise statues to AEnigma. See TEd, the High Priest of Itzenism, whether he is convinced about Itzenism or not, for the Book of the Word on this new and mysterious system of belief.

I rather like it myself.

CK: Sounds like a combination of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Them!". But fear not, Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, will soon deal with that lot. And in the first innings, too!
