UNUSUAL WORDS, Part 2

by Kathy Wolfe

This week, Tidbits continues with its lexiphanicism — showing off with big words! It’s time to learn more about these whatchamacallits and thingamajigs.

• Those who love cats are ailurophilists, while those who love dogs are cynophilists. People who love all animals are referred to as philotherialists.

Norton Law, P.C. offers FREE Consultation Experienced Attorney Competitive/ Affordable prices Located in Lone Tree

• Misogamists and misopedists often go hand in hand.

They hate marriage and children, respectively. Gamophobists don’t hate marriage; they’re just afraid of it.

• Stop, thief! Look at the wide variety of terms used to describe these crooks — brigand, snaffler, kirkbuzzer, efter, ladrone or footpad. The snaffler is mainly a horse thief, while the kirkbuzzer robs only churches. The efter steals from theater customers while the performance is on, and ladrones and footpads are muggers who thieve while on foot. A specialized pickpocket who targets only churchgoers is referred to as an autem diver.

• The Latin suffix “-aster” refers to anything with a lesser status, for example, a musicaster is a mediocre musician, while a militaster is a soldier without skills or abilities. The theologaster is a shallow theologian who has no deep spiritual thinking. turn the page for more!

Interesting Stuff

UNUSUAL WORDS (continued): • Pregnant women often have to endure allotriophagy, that craving for strange foods. Hopefully, they will choose items that are salutiferous, meaning conducive to health or well-being.

• If you shilly-shally, dodder, quail, haw, demur or shrink before making a decision, you merely hesitate.

Let’s say you’re diffident, gelid, reticent, chary or delitescent — you’re considered rather reserved. Now if someone calls you a miscreant, wastral, garmin, reprobate or varlet, consider yourself insulted. You’ve been labeled a scoundrel!

• What do the words coquelicot, tilleul, smaragdine and smalt have in common? They are all names for different colors! Coquelicot is a brilliant poppy red; tilleul is a yellowish-green color; smaragdine is emerald green; and smalt is a deep blue. Speaking of colors, there is an actual name for those who fear the color purple — porphyrophobia.

• Good words come in small packages! To aby means to make amends or atone for an offense. A wen is an enormously congested city. To soften something by soaking is to ret it. That broad sash we see wrapped around a kimono is an obi. And kir is a drink composed of black currant syrup and white wine.

• Don’t confuse philalethists with philatelists. The former are lovers of truth, while the latter love collecting postage stamps.

Quality Service on all Foreign and Domestic Vehicles “Your Hometown Service Center” 303-841-8000

• How about that really boring person you meet at a party who has absolutely no conversational skills? This dull dude is a macrologist, and he frequently engages in battology — wearisome redundancy and trifling talk.

He’s enough to give you a bad case of drapetomania, that uncontrollable urge to run away!

• Some folks are famous for mentimutation — the act of changing their minds. Some might actually have hypobulia, which is an inability to come to a decision.

• Do you have big feet? You’re sciapodous! How about great big ears? You’re macrotous! Maybe buck teeth, too? You’re a gubbertush! Is there a noticeable gap between those buck teeth? That’s called a diastema. Let’s add a buccula to the mix; that’s a double chin.

• Everyone knows a breedbate, an individual who seems to enjoy starting arguments and stirring up controversy. Breedbates are occasionally suggilated — beaten black and blue! And how about that lazy loafer you know? He’s a drotchel, scobberlotcher, ragabash, lobcock, lollard or sluggard.

• Over the baize and into the side pocket! Baize is the green felt-like cloth covering your pool table.

• At one time or another, everyone has had the misfortune of sitting behind a milver, a person who chatters non-stop through a movie. Related terms include pleniloquent (one who is full of talk) and blatteroon (a constant talker). Many of them have a cacoethes loquendi, that unquenchable desire to talk. No matter how you say it, you just wish they’d shut up! (Several of them are probably somniloquent as well, meaning they even talk in their sleep!)

There is a lot of junk and pseudo-science that seems plausible but is ‘dead’ wrong. Be sure to review many sites to get a general consensus before making a decision. The doctors at Cat Specialist use searches on specific medical sites to find new treatments, validate current treatment plans or consult with colleagues on your cat’s medical condition.

The educational value of the internet is amazing if it is used right. Many courses, case consultations, research topics, new procedures and almost any area of curiosity can be searched on the internet.

Currently the doctors at Cat Specialist are looking into a novel treatment to resolve the secondary signs in diabetes. A multi-species search of materials has provided an amazing amount of materials and many new ideas.

So, as a doctor, I encourage my client to use the internet wisely. Many of the articles they search are valid but some are not. Don’t be afraid to ask our medical staff questions because we want the very best health care for your cat.

Remember, Dr. Google knows everything but it cannot tell right from wrong!

Excellent Quality Hay and Straw.

Eating More and Losing Weight?

My older cat recently has had a ravenous appetite, begs for food, and he is still losing weight. “Herbie” is very active, plays like a kitten and he has begun to caterwaul at night. What is wrong with “Herbie”?

The most common disease problem affecting older cats with these clinical signs is hyperthyroidism. A blood panel with thyroid tests (T4, and fT4ED) is needed for diagnosis. The best news is that this endocrine disease can be CURED! The Cat Specialist doctors have advanced training in nuclear medicine, using 131I to destroy the tumor cells that cause this disease. One treatment cures >96% of affected cats. If your cat is having these problems call our hospital.

Please call 303.663.2287 (CATS) for more information or visit www.catspecialist.com

The seductive, violet amethyst has for millenniums thought to have significant powers.

Moses described it as a symbol of the Spirit of God and used it in the robes of the High Priest. Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent thousands of miners to dig for it in the Ural Mountains . The Greeks thought it offered protection against drunkenness. Other cultures thought it would protect crops from tempests and locusts and that it would bring good luck in war and in the hunt, drive out evil spirits and inspire intellect.

Others thought it would protect against snakebite if worn around the neck on a cord made from dog’s hair. Some ancients reported that eagles would put an amethyst in their nest to protect their young, though no one reported how the eagle would manage to mine an amethyst.

But wait, there’s more! “Gemstone therapists” say that the amethyst has a sobering and cleansing effect and that it has been said to suppress stomach acid, combat insect bits, and beautify the skin.

Some say it puts the wearer in a “chaste frame of mind” and thus became an ornament of the Catholic clergy found in prelates’ crosses and in the Papal Ring (Italian, 15th century) in the Jewelry Museum in Pforzheim.

Wow! What a stone! If everyone wore an amethyst what a wonderful world this would be!

Home Improvement THIS IS A HAMMER

By Samantha Mazzotta

Protect your home or business

De-Cluttering For Mental Health Q: My husband has claimed pretty much the entire garage with his workshop, tools and lawn-care equipment. A lot of it is necessary, but he just keeps collecting stuff. He’s got least three of the same screwdrivers and wrenches, and endless jars of old screws, nails and fasteners. I’d love to be able to park one of our cars in there. Or at least, you know, walk around without tripping over stuff. How can I get him to clean out the place without starting a feud? -- Carol T., Providence, R.I.

A: Getting your husband to neaten up what’s become his man-cave can be a real chore. He probably sees as necessary what you see as extraneous: those extra sets of tools have a purpose, at least in his mind.

Talk directly to him about it -- the trick being not to accuse, nag or cajole him. He may not be very receptive to your request that he give you enough space to park the car in the garage, but tell him that’s what you want. Don’t build it into an argument; he’s likely to just dig his heels in and not budge at all. Instead, try to get him to talk about what he’d really like to do with the space. It’s hard to work in a messy workshop; did he have any projects planned that he hasn’t yet started? Does he really just want a place to get away for a few hours? Find out what he wants, and see if you can work from there.

One option you might bring up is that the extra tool sets and other unneeded items can be sold by throwing a yard sale or putting them up online on a sales or auction site. The profit can be used to buy an item for the workshop, like a power tool, a refrigerator or an old couch.

HOME TIP: A tackle box is one way to store different sizes and types of fasteners like bolts, nuts, washers, and so on. It’s portable and allows for quick access to the items you need to complete a repair.

UNUSUAL WORDS part 2(continued): • The longest word in the English language is pneumonoultramicrosocpicsilicovolcanocon-iosis, a disease resulting from over-exposure to ultra-microscopic silicone dust. Inhaling the dust found near volcanoes is a major cause of this disease. If this word frightens you, you may have hippopotomonstro-squippedaliophobia, the fear of long words.

• When the time comes to absquatulate, it means it’s time to pull up stakes, to decamp and flee.

39 Examination, Preventive Cleaning,

• There are numerous kinds of beggars — A toothless beggar is a mumblecrust. One who pretends that his tongue has been cut out is a dommerer, while a female beggar who borrows or hires several children temporarily to arouse sympathy is an autem mort. There’s a whole new generation of beggars. The beggar whose parents are beggars is a palliard. If he bangs on a dish or cup to attract your attention, he’s a clapperdudgeon. No matter how you say it — mendicant, cadger, bezonian, panhandler, sponge, supplicant or gaberlunzie — He’s still a beggar. But, only a beggar monk can be a gyrovague.

• What are you afraid of? If you are an epistaxiophobic, you are afraid of getting a nosebleed. Astrapophobics hide under the bed during thunder and lightning storms, while nosocomephobics have a fear of hospitals.

Those suffering from pnigophobia are afraid of choking on fish bones, and koimetrophobics avoid cemeteries.

Most people wouldn’t see anything unusual in being a little selacophobic or afraid of sharks.

• When thinking of someone you know who is a workaholic, remember the technical term for someone who loves work is an ergophile.

• Pity the poor fellow who’s married to an objurgatrix!

His wife is a nagging, carping, fault-finding battle-ax of a woman. Other terms of endearment for this special lady include termagant, shrew, beldam, virago, harridan and xanthippe.

• Something that causes cancer is said to be carcinogenic. Cariogenic items are much less serious — They cause dental cavities.

Q. My 7 year-old daughter has no cavities. Should she have sealants placed to protect her teeth, or can she just brush and floss?

Q. It depends on several factors. You and your daughter can control some factors, such as effective oral hygiene, diet (sweet snacking), and regular preventive dental visits.

However, you cannot control the hereditary anatomy of her teeth. That is, some children (and adult) teeth have deep pits and fissured grooves (“groovy teeth”). It can become nearly impossible for the toothbrush bristle to reach that last little “sugar bug” entrenched deep into the deep pit or fissure.

This plus even a little “sugar” in the diet from processed foods can set up decay. Research has shown that almost everybody has a 95% chance of getting cavities in these areas.

A well-placed sealant can protect the “groovy” tooth surface from bacteria and acid attack caused by sweet snacking.

R. What is a sealant?

Q. A. sealant is a thin plastic film bonded to the chewing surfaces of the tooth.

The sealant fills in the deep pits and grooves where bacteria can hide. The Cindy Rose “sugar bugs” have fewer places set up shop, which prevents decay. It’s important to note that a sealant is only effective in the pits and groove areas, not the smooth surfaces of the tooth that are easier to clean.

Q. Q. Are they effective?

Q. Yes! About 80% of decay occurs in the deep pits and grooves of the chewing surfaces. Combined with twicedaily brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste, healthy nutrition, and twice-yearly visits to the dentist, properly applied sealants are 100 percent effective in preventing cavities in these areas. Sealants have been described as “the greatest advance in preventive dentistry since fluoride”.

R. Q. Aren’t sealants just for kids?

Q. No! Adults can have “groovy teeth” too. They can protect any areas of adult pits and fissures – that do not already have a filling present.

Q. Are sealants expensive?

No! Sealants cost much less than fillings and help reduce future dental expenses. Most insurance companies recognize that sealants are cost-effective, and provide up to 100% of the cost, especially for sealants in molars.

Please send in your questions.

Here are some of the key biases identified by behavioral finance experts:

Overconfidence — Overconfidence leads investors to believe they know the “right times” to buy and sell investments. But if you’re constantly buying and selling in the belief that you are correctly “timing” the market, you maybe wrong many times, and you may incur more investment fees, expenses and taxes than if you simply bought quality investments and held them for the long term.

Representativeness — If you make decisions based on preconceived ideas or stereotypes, you may be suffering from a bias called “representativeness.” For example, if you see that investments from a particular sector, such as energy, have performed particularly well in one year, you might think these types of vehicles will do just as well the next year, so you load up on them.

Yet every sector will go through ups and downs, so one year’s performance cannot necessarily predict the next year's performance. Instead of chasing “hot” investments, try to build a balanced portfolio that reflects your individual goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

Anchoring — Similar to representativeness, an anchoring bias occurs when investors place too much emphasis on past performance. If you own shares of XYZ stock, for instance, and the stock price hit $60 per share, you might assume XYZ will always sell for at least $60 a share. But if XYZ drops to $30 per share — perhaps as a result of a broad-based market decline — you might think it’s now “undervalued,” leading you to “snap up” even more shares.

However, XYX shares could also fall due to a change in its fundamentals, such as a shake-up in the company’s management or a decline in the competitiveness of its products. As an informed investor, you need to work with your financial advisor to determine the causes of an investment’s decline and any actions you may need to take in response.

Confirmation — If you are subject to confirmation bias, you may look for information that supports your reasons for choosing a particular investment. This type of bias can lead to faulty decision making, because you’ll end up with one-sided information.

In other words, you may latch onto all the positive reasons for investing in something — such as a “hot stock” — but you may overlook the “red flags” that would cause you to think twice if you were being totally objective. To fight back against confirmation bias, take your time before making any investment decision — a quality investment will almost always be just as good a choice tomorrow as it is today.

Being aware of these investment biases can help you make better decisions — and over a period of many years, these decisions can make a difference as you work toward achieving your financial objectives.

651 Topeka Way, Suite 600 • Castle Rock • 80109 • www.itcpharmacy.com LEGAL ADVICE By: April Norton, Esq. Sitting on a bench, Forrest Gump once mused: "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get." I love this quote because the truth is life is never what we "plan" it to be. Instead it is full of twists and turns. We hold on and hope to learn as we go.

I did not plan to become a bankruptcy attorney. Initially, I practiced family law and criminal defense.

Still firmly attached to my desire of making things better for others, the practice of bankruptcy actually found me. Nine years later, I feel I am exactly where I am supposed to be: in a position to help my clients find a fresh start.

When I left my home to start a career, I never thought I would give up the Florida beaches for the mountains and fall in love with Colorado.

Now, an avid hiker and dog lover, I can truly attest to the fact that you never really know what you are going to end up with in this life.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ¥ On June 29, 1613, the Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare’s plays debuted, burns down.

The Globe was built in 1599 from the timbers of London’s very first permanent theater, Burbage’s Theater. The galleries could seat about 1,000 people, with room for another 2,000 “groundlings,” who could stand around the stage. ¥ On June 28, 1888, writer Robert Louis Stevenson and his family leave San Francisco for their first visit to the South Seas. Stevenson, an adventurous traveler plagued by tuberculosis, was seeking a healthier climate. His novel “Treasure Island” was published in 1883. ¥ On June 27, 1922, the American Library Association awards the first Newbery Medal, honoring the year’s best children’s book, to “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrik Willem van Loon. The Newbery Medal seeks to encourage originality and excellence in the field of children’s books. ¥ On June 26, 1948, in response to the Soviet blockade of land routes into West Berlin, the United States begins a massive airlift of food, water and medicine to the citizens of the besieged city.

For nearly a year, supplies from American planes sustained the more than 2 million people in West Berlin. ¥ On June 25, 1956, the last Packard rolls off the production line at Packard’s plant in Detroit. The classic American luxury car used the famously enigmatic slogan “Ask the Man Who Owns One.” ¥ On June 30, 1962, Sandy Koufax strikes out 13 batters and walks five to lead the Brooklyn Dodgers over the New York Mets 5-0 with his first career no-hitter. Koufax went on to throw three more no-hitters, including a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965, in which he allowed no hits and no walks. ¥ On July 1, 1979, the Sony Walkman -- the world’s first low-cost, portable music player -goes on sale in Japan. The initial production run of 30,000 units looked to be too ambitious, as only 3,000 were sold at $150 apiece in the first month.

Some 200 million sales later, Sony retired the cassette Walkman in 2010. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
