Word of the day

I encountered a few interesting words today when searching for something with Ryan, the most interesting of which was backronym. Check out the crazy definition on wickipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym ...This must have been written by a graduate student, as I can't think of anyone else who would spend that much time on something completely insignificant outside of academia. It is pretty hilarious in its specificity. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Yikes! I barely think that I understood. Does this mean that MADD could stand for Marriage and Directive Dating? Here's a word for you: pentehemimeral. It's a type of caesura in Latin poetry...who can tell me what type? There's a good girl.
