Have you all been neglecting your History of the Holy Roman Empire? Splenius was Cleopatra's eunich who protected her and Marc from Ceasar's friends by mere virtue of the fact that Splenius was born without a spleen and thus inherently protected from the era's favorite way to kill someone, i.e, with a knife thrust to the spleen. It is said that Marc once sent Splenius to Rome to do a man's job, and that event was the only known failure of Splenius' otherwise successful career.
I'm not sure, but I think in my shakespeare class in college they said a splenic person is very the hplegmatic man, who eats a lot of fish, so I guess splenius is someone who likes sea bass. No? Maybe fat?

i.e- Going through security in Dallas and 4:15 AM to get on the next flight to Florida, after flying all night, Carolyn had sunk into such a state of splenius that she couldn't remember her own name.
Duh- supposed to be at 4:15 AM. Also, there's supposed to be no comma after Florida. Always proofread your comments!
When there is a plenty of genius floating around in a workshop, then you call it a " splenius workshop". Definitely not for lesser mortals.
its like a pair of contracted words "splendid" and genius." which is like exaggerated bit ofpraise. one would think this word is best in a harrpy potter series.
A splenius is the jar in which the ancient Egyptians kept the spleen and other organs when mummifying a person.
