Another spelling bee word I never saw before. Phronistering says = "capable of being
separated".
Here;s a theologian using it:
"If by this it is meant that He is uncompounded, that His substance is ineffably homogeneous,
that it does not exist by assemblage of atoms, and is notdiscerptible, it is true. For all this
is clear from His true spirituality and eternity. We must conceive of spiritual substance as
existing thus; because all the acts, states, and consciousnesses of spirits, demand a simple, uncompounded substance."

The incredible, edible, discerptible egg?

Discerptible is a word I'll bet no one on our faculty knows. I'd drop it tomorrow for fun, but it would probably come out discerpitle.

Heavens, that is a wild word to say aloud.
