Nothing to do with skiing, but here at work we get a daily email full of bits of info about seminars, job vacancies in the department etc, along with a word for the day. Today's word was cool, cos it sounds weird, an it applies to T7:
pogonotrophy
(po-guh-NAW-truh-fee) noun
The growing of a beard.
[From Greek pogon (beard) + -trophy (nourishment, growth).]
Pogonology is the study of beards and pogonotomy is a fancy word for shaving.
"Mr. Davis fixed his gaze on the red beard [and said], "Professor Flowers, I must congratulate you on a fine example of pogonotrophy.'"

That you Sid, now there is a convo starter for this morning's seminar here at uni :-)
Wally!
Wow 'Pogonotrophy' that's very T7 now isn't it... HAHAHHAHHAAA!!! Very GOOD... I like it! (still can't say it though... will have to practice this weekend)... maybe T7 needs to change his alias to Pogonotrophy... it will give a whole new glow to monkey with snowball!
What a good word.:)
