the wuestion eally becomes who made up that word?
It has not always existed in the English language.. I am not positive but I suspect it was simply added at someone's whim... Wonder what the actual real origin of that disphemysm is. I have never heard that word before until now, like you and I was an English major as well as a Engineering major.

I granulated with double majors in my undergraduate studies. My youngest daughter follwed her fathers footsteps so I was flattered. American History and Poly Sci. She grauduated valedictorian. I on the other hand, did not..... lol!!!! SO now I take a back seat to her...
