Vocabulary lessons

  • POGONIP: Apparently not an Aboriginal name for an Australian rodent similar to a rodent. :shock: Instead it’s a dense fog that forms in deep valleys in the winter. Found it at Dictionary.com meaning ice fog (a fog of ice particles) or a dense winter fog containing ice particles.
  • As it turns out I am a TEGESTOLOGIST :???: (who knew). It seems that tegestology is the art of collecting cardboard beer coasters. I am not currently an active collector but I do have a collection that I brought with me when I returned from my year in Belgium some 10 years ago. Scarily enough there are websites dedicated to this as evidenced by a search on Google.
  • For future reference to those of you possibly interested in playing Boggle in the future (check out online Boggle), KOI is a perfectly valid 3-letter word. A koi is in fact a popular aquarium and ornamental pond fish, and includes any of various bright-colored carp (Cyprinus carpio) of Japan and eastern Asia.
