Using a computer brings out the eccentricities in all of us! V nice word! - bananabender, 2008-01-30: 18:27:00

I'm sure glad you put the etymology cause this dummy thought it was a typo and was a combo with zygotes in it ... more laughter ... at my ignorance. Kudos, to all who use the uncommon, for I am learning new words from you along with the verboticisms. - silveryaspen, 2008-01-30: 19:39:00
