Thanks CampKohler! But I already knew that!! .. I was asking about the origin of the word [Scintillography] and when (this word) was invented (and not the technique), as well as any other data about the word itself. This is all about the origin of words, isn’t it?

Oooh, genius! My students have asked me that already and I couldn’t explain. I’ve managed to link that to ‘busy bee’ but that was about it.
Well, I’m planning on making a video request on this eventually, but I need makeup (!) for that, so… why are psychiatrists or therapists also called [shrinks]?
ps. The pink shirt is FABULOUS.

What is the origin of [disgruntled]? The OED didn’t really get to the bottom of it.

I would agree Bill. I would supply the propane for the cookout for that rig if that was the deal.

Thanks Miss M., I am getting very hungry waiting on the choice. I have been dieting and fasting hoping to maybe win. Have a good time at the games.
