5-7-5, I had it right in my head but ballsed it up in the typing.

Spherculist- Antidissestablishment?

Posted: 8th Nov 2005
Alack and Alas, but I don't think Antidisestabliment is a valid word - Antidisestablishmentarian would be the correct tense I believe. Sorry!

However, a few words which my bored mind came up with whilst procrastinating over study:

- Peripateticism (the practice of being constantly in motion)
- Lepidopterologist (one who studies butterflies)
- Myrmecotrophobia (I think? A fear of ants, I believe)

As such:


Effervescencently.
Peripateticism.
Oxymoronic?


Oh, I should go back to biochem, my jokes are getting worse.

Hhhmm, you may be right, but I would argue that the Antidissestablishment is that group of people who are against the removal of state support/recognition of a religious body (ie it is the group made up of Antidissestablishmentarians). I just looked up Antidisetablishmentarian on an online dictionary and got the following response-:



"Pronunciation: (an"tē-dis"u-stab"lish-mun-târ'ē-un, an"tī-), [key]

—n.

a person who advocates antidisestablishmentarianism.



—adj.

of or pertaining to antidisestablishmentarianism."



Is it just me or is that the least useful definition ever? Truely illustrative of the difference between knowledge and wisdom!
