Quote:

Every good Anglican is a huge fan of George Herbert and thus has read all of his poetry. I think it is required by one of the vows taken at Holy Baptism or some such. Because of this shared literacy, every Anglican knows the term Perirrhanterium and its meaning, but only from the footnotes in the book of Herbert's poems. The utensil in question is more often called aspergillium (Latin), or aspersorium (Latin) or goupillon (French, I think). Even these words are fading in Anglican vocabulary as holy water is so often tossed about using small branches of shrubs and trees rather than a sprinkler.



Dare I ask then why you, our favorite good Anglican, chose my daffynition, misspelled as flange was?
