Word Of The Day



splanch•o•mancy
(spla:ntʃ' ō man sē)
noun

The practice of studying the entrails of dead or dying human sacrifices, especially in order to predict the future.  Also see anthropomancy.



Lia Black and I happened upon this spectacular word, while looking for something fun to do on a Saturday a different word.  We immediately recognised it as vital information that needs to be shared, for science and the good of humanity.

See if you can use this in conversation.  People will be so alarmed impressed!

Also, I think it sounds vaguely onomatopoeic.
