An idle passing thought, engendered by "past" and "and a pest" in the restimulative thread.
The next association is "anapest."
But anapest is a dactyl.
Iamb is a trochee. So is dactyl, for that matter.
And so it goes...
Couldn't the Greeks have been more self-consistent?

Iamb is a trochee. - That used to be different, last century, when I went to school  . But with all the reforms that have happened since, who knows...

"Heterological," which I believe is the Official Definition of the concept.
Does that make Heterological an implied oxymoron?
