Mandible: Lower jawbone


~
Ah mandible, who could make up such a word? I haven't heard tell of it yet, but I am watching for a movement favoring the change to to the non-sexist persondible. It will never catch on. It used to be that a person could create a new word; coining. In the days of villages, one could make up a new word and all would be agog. Today in the age of information where Google knows what is going on in every village, it is usual to find that someone, somewhere, already made up the gem you thought you created. Mandible is a scientific word, not a poetic one. It is hard to think of the translators doing the King James Version of The Bible and coming up with the phrase: mandible of an ass. There is a time to mandible and a time to jawbone.
