Pronunciation: om nee sy ent ist

Sentence: Brenda was an omniscientist when it came to all subjects. At least she thought she was. She could annoy family,friends, co-workers and even complete strangers with her know-it-all-ness. There wasn't a subject she was not an authority on and even though she could bluff, people really knew she did not know it all nor could she be correct at all times on all matters. When asked if she understood the Big Bang Theory, she told them that it was a sitcom on tv and she could understand it because it was in English!

Etymology: Omniscient (infinitely wise)& Scientist (a person with advanced knowledge of one of more sciences)

And, as the evening rolled on, this tried-and-true trio: a Kiwi, a Ruskie and a Yobbo, in perfect harmony and absolutely right about everything, solved the problems of humanity in just under three hours.

Etymology: ECLECTIC: selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas; TRUTH: faithfulness, quality of being true.
