Thremmatology
Thremmatology is the science of breeding animals and plants. Not very scientific, I would have thought. Not with animals anyway. They seem to manage it quite well without scientific intervention. However, I digress. Your invented meanings for thremmatology wowed me. I can't believe how many invented meanings are still out there waiting for words. Thanks to all the word imps who are participating in this journey. It's a happy diversion. And thanks also to Magdalene for providing us for a winning meaning for thremmatology. Great work.

Jonathan surprised famous thremmatologist, Dr. Esther Sun-Day, with his ability to stay out of trouble for 25 threms (about 1 hour) after waking and discovering his Easter goodies. After this hour, the boy began to whine uncontrollably and eventually was jumping on the furniture and talking very loudly in hopes he would wake his siblings, whom he was told to wait for.
