Hearkens back to Mencken's ombibulous....which he coined to mean "I drink everything" [type of alcoholic beverage, that is]. He used to say, "I'm an ombibulous drinker." [there's an old thread on this here if anyone wants to search it] So...
That coupled with ambi-, and bibere seem to indicate an attempt to quantify and diversify the practice of something...a two-fisted dentist!?
ambi-bib-entists...hmmm, entists...a two-fisted lover of Ents!A LOTR allusion! OR, a two-fisted drinker of Ent liqueur (distilled from their essence, not made by the tree-creatures)
'N mebbe you're right, AnnaS, mebbe the snow is getting to me! The weather kind, that is!A nice shot of Ent whiskey, anyone?
Next item on the menu...Gollumburgers...no,no,no...I like Gollum too much...Orcburgers more like it, I think!
