Huh. I know some human vegetarians who can do that as well. Personally, I think its because they don't eat meat.

Yup. Vegetarian misandric (?) kangaroos.
Yeah, that's the word I was looking for! Nice to have a new word for the vocab' (though it's the kind of word, like its brother, that you hope you can file and barely ever reference).

Cheers,
Marc

It's probably not a good one to use here on MR. You know how some of the boys'll just get distracted picturing your wanton hair floating on the water's surface around your shameless shoulders.

According to the BBC, serendipity was the UK's favourite word in 2000.

Quidditch was the second favourite.

Despite the supposed authority of the BBC, it is safe to say they were wrong in both cases.
(The UK's favourite word is in fact 'benefits' - getting the thread back on track. )

interesting quote from that article :

Quote:
"What the results tell us is that we're gloriously independent and individual in our enthusiasms, we really, really love Harry Potter, and that our vocabulary is versatile, international and a pleasure," said Peter Florence, Artistic Director of The Word.
