Diverting my attention/the word 'eschew'

[vernon]

Can't beat micturation.

 

[betty swollocks]

One of my favourite words is:- steatopygous. A word which must be used judiciously, or you risk, in some situations, certain death.
I first came across it in one of Louis de Berniere's books - not Captain Corelli.

 

[Aperitif]

Can't beat micturation.

Expectorating is a word I associate with micturation - not sure why. "Taking the mic." - is that how that expression came about?

 

[srw]

Well I never - a hapax legomenon.

Like coming across

ραφανιδοω ​

[raphanidoo] in Aristophanes.
"PleaseSir whassimeanSir?"
"Er, you'll just have to go and look it up"

Wikipedia confirms that you'd probably have come across ῥαφανιδωθῇ - an imperative rather than an active-voiced verb.

Can't beat micturation.

The Leveson enquiry has shown up a few : inchoate, pellucid, logocentric, bailiwick, condign, propinquity.
Having looked up their meaning, my mind has eschewed remembering their meaning.

This whole thread reads like the first chapter of a Will Self book.

Our centre manager invented a great new word today, to mean the logistics of a difficult project:

Complicalities.
