I'm still not sure if most of these words will make it into regular use...

Today, I had to wikipedia the words/terms below. I am not God's proverbial gift to speech, although I must give necessary shout-outs to my parents who taught my brother and I how to speak clearly and skipped straight over the baby talk stage, and Ms. Biddle, my second grade teacher who was obsessed with words and took a speed-reading course just for fun. And I can spell conscientius in two seconds. HOLLA.

Anywhoo... in working today, and accidentally coming across things, I had to refresh my brain at the following words:

• polyandry
• polygyny
• marmoset
• "persona non grata"
• sheep-goat chimera

I'm not sure if I feel smarter, but this bizarre concoction of words in combination is enough to make my friends worry about me for sure.

And I must say that I'm sad Polyandry never picked up momentum... but I guess it really is a man's world. :D
