Pulveratricious
I�m so happy that Yams has chosen a Word for us today! The word �Pulveratricious� is something you can really get your teeth into � like Strawberry Mousse!
As a teacher, I�m fascinated by words! (Sentences are a bit more difficult, and my spelling is abs-sew-loot-lee terror-bell, but words � fascinating!)
I became interested in words at a very early age. As my Mam was changing my nappy, I remember thinking: �Why does the family next door use the expressions �A Number One� and �A Number Two�, (�Urination� and �Defecation�), when they speak to the baby? My Mam says �Wee-wee� and �Pooh� to me! Is it because they are numeracy-literate and we aren�t?�
More questions crowded into my little head: �Is �wee-wee� an early example of �alliteration�? Can �wee-wee� possibly be a demonstration of infantile �onomatopoeia�? Does onomatopoeia� really mean what I think it means (�on-a-mat-a-pee----a-a-a-a-h-h-h!!!�)?
I was more confused than a student who doesn�t know the difference between �this is�; �that is�; and �thesis�.
As for the word �pooh�, I still prefer not to discuss it in mixed company!
When the English wish to make a statement which �the whole world knows to be true�, they often ask a rhetorical question, such as: �Is the Pope a Catholic?�
Some Politically Correct Speakers think that this is an insult to the Pope, and they are afraid of being sued, so they ask a different question. They know that bears cannot afford to hire a lawyer, so they ask: �Do bears pooh in the woods?�
Please, Members, at a Party, do not answer this question with the reply �Yes! They do!� nor with the additional information, �Sometimes, they do it in the mountains!�
You may think that you are supplying much-needed zoological detail. In reality, you are supplying the Greatest Conversation-Stopper Known to Mankind.
We shall pass hurriedly on to our Word, �Pulveratricious�, which is totally Italian in origin.
Pu = can, also pooh; l�vera = the truth ; trici = a matrix; o = or; usa = use
A medicine (or similar) to use which can reveal the true medical condition about something which I prefer not to discuss! The doctors among you will instantly recognise it.
Pulveratricious = Having a laxative effect
