Today's Word, "fetor" suggests a coinage: "Fetort". A retort uttered by person afflicted with fetor oris.

Really! I can't imagine a word sounding much less like its meaning! Even if you know how to spell it (it just occurred to me that it *sounds like knitted).

Hadn't thought of that, Dr. Bill. Just makes our case against the word that much stronger!

OOO--Do you have mechanised dandruff?
Animated dandruff would be, um, interesting, (undesirable) but understandable.. but mechanised? made out of machinery? automated? the idea of mechanised dandruff makes the animated kind seem desirable!
