Cacography

Cacography actually has nothing to do with laughter or hens. It means bad spelling or bad handwriting! However, Vicki B's invented meaning took the voters' fancy today. Well done to the other two pollsters though. The vote was very close.

Good one, Sprite!!

Cacography is a record of the flip-flops the stomach makes when nervous. There's a different sound to every situation-mid-terms or finals, first date, interviews, speaking in public, etc.

Sorry, folks, it's not butterflies flittering around in there.

Cacography is the study of different types of cackling noises made by broody hens. It gives the Cacographer an idea of how far through their gestation the hen is, by the tone, pitch and length of the cackle made by the brooding hen.

Originally the mapping of the location of cacao plants, cacography has evolved to mean plotting the location of anything derived from the cacao plant -- namely chocolate or coffee.
