A Boidem first.
Numerous words and phrases repeat themselves in these columns. The words "of
course", for instance, show up almost every month, probably even when things
aren't really quite as obvious as I might want them to be. This is, however, the
first time that the word humungous has been used here. That in
itself wouldn't really be much of a cause for a page unto itself (after all, countless
other words have also never appeared here), except for the fact that this was
one of my mother's favorite words,
and as such there might have been reason to expect that it would have found its
way into a column before now.
