Still amused...
by the way Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day is more personally revealing than any two-bit newspaper horoscope.

Today’s appropriate word:
agon \AH-gahn; ah-GOHN\, noun:
A struggle or contest; conflict; especially between the protagonist and antagonist in a literary work.

Am I the only person who thought the Word of the Day for Father’s Day (eructation: the act of belching; a belch) was not just coincidence? It is such a guy word. Nobody would use that word on Mother’s Day. No matter how dyspeptic a mother may be, you just don’t invoke her name in the same sentence with “eructation.” Ever.

Now back to the agon.
