In the discussion of this week's word theme, cenocephalic was used as an example. While cenocephalic is fine and dandy for one who is essentially vapid and witless, I seem to think endocephaloproctosis is more befitting for others. Physiology happens, enjoy the ride.

Why would one be a fitting substitute for the other? Or am I being cenocephalic? Last edited by The Pook; 04/15/2008 12:18 AM.

What are combining forms? You can think of them as the Legos of language." My comment on this- I have been told time and time again by a friend that Lego is plural, no "s". Is that correct?
