Thanks, Syl! Those Merovingian's were carrot tops!

Elucubrate - to solve by studious effort ... I would love to elucubrate the purpose of life, but I don't possess the intestinal fortitude.
Prospicience - to look ahead; exercise foresight ... I am in continuous awe of my mother's prospicience.

My lacking prospicience has allowed Sylvia to put up prospicience [which I copied off the scene-selection screen on AATB several days ago but only ten minutes ago looked up on Google] before me. Therefore, as she is not all-knowing [moot point], I will, in its stead, offer for your elucidation a word of near everyday usage:
smaragdine - ????????????

Smaragdine means emerald colored.
I'm not omnisicent, Coco; I'm just given to adoxography at times.
Noun 1. adoxography - fine writing in praise of trivial or base subjects; "Elizabethan schoolboys were taught adoxography, the art of eruditely praising worthless things"; "adoxography is particularly useful to lawyers.
Tee hee hee.

Absolutely delicious, good and wise oiseau de la neige!
In praise of the "drivial" [from CoCo's inkwell]:
I admit, however, to being a cheeky bloke of no especial renown, unless you count an arm unmatched for roll tossing among my peers. On many a painful occasion of ribald hilarity, I have lobbed a stale petit pain at a cheerfully accommodating chum, only to have an hysterical nanny take me by the ear and toss me unceremoniously to the kerb.
All is fair, I suppose, in lob and war.
