Sophia, Not being a mom, I didn �t realize this. I don �t know if this term is common here in the US, but I �ve never seen the word before. Anyway, we can have fun with a word, even if we know the real meaning. Bruce |

Ooops! Although I �m a mom, I �m completely lost to what Sophia mentions as obvious! I must be a weird mom? LOL! Well, my shot at the word is... The latest fashion in HELMETS that are "IN", among bike riders... helminthology |

BTW as absurd as it might seem, my favourite OAL online dictionary doesn �t even have such an entry! How advanced is that:) Don �t worry, Mar, probably I �m the one who �s weird here, partly because my cousin went to medical school (she �s a doc now). You can tell we were close :) Anyways, I love your definition!  Sophia |

The study of the 1919 movie Mints of Hell about gold miners in the Yukon. There is only one known helminthologist in the world. |
