Miscellaneous

I’ve stumbled across this word at least three times in the last week – once in Umberto Eco’s “The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana”, once in reference to the London bombings, and once in some report on NPR. It’s an interesting word, and now that I’ve heard it several times, and now written about it, I’m sure it will become part of my permanent vocabulary.
