<< While we are talking about word origins, i would like to point out that
the period term for one who cooks a feast is: A cook. Not only is
"feastacrat" not a period word, it is not even a word, period >>
.. and then there's my favorite: "docko" instead of "documentation". It's a
singularly strong pet peeve of mine....... I wince every time I hear the term
(must be those incredibly rigorous English teachers I had back in high
school...<G>).
