-THERY

[magratheazaphod]

leesa played a phony -THERY word on me the other day, so I looked up all the -THERY words out there. The pattern is interesting...

there are 3 7s.

there are 6 8s. Three of them rhyme, and the other three all start with the same letter.

finally, there is only ONE longer - THERY word, and it is an awesome four-letter extension of one of the 8s...

MOTHERY = slimy??? Ah: MOTHER = mother of vinegar, a stringy slime containing various bacteria that forms on the surface of liquids undergoing acetous fermentation.

mmmm

for a second it sounded like one of those collins definitions like SKINCARE#
