Well, there's "misogamy" which is a hatred of marriage. Then there's "misogyny" which is a hatred of women.

And only the aptly named Miss Savage knows which she *really* meant. However, they both sound like dirty words to me! But, on the bright side, a new vocabulary word. Friday's aren't a waste of time after all. Now, if only learning to replace my head gaskets were this easy....

Where did the phrase "tounge in cheek" come from anyhow?
