Menology
For those who enjoy figuring out the root meaning behind words, menology is related to month. But not in a menstrual way exactly. It's related to month in a calendar way. In fact, a menology is a calendar of the Greek Church which contains biographies of saints. That beats my invented meaning hands down. Thanks for your meanings and the long wait between words. Excuses, excuses, she said. I have none. Pure laziness is my only offering. Well done to new player on the blog (or old player with new name)- Metamatician - for a great win on the poll today. Hope you return soon.

Well, it's obvious isn't it. Menology is the study of higher forms of intelligent life.
(That's just lost me all female votes for the next ten years!!! Only kidding, honest. I'm sure there will be some suitable ripostes below...)
It's the study of tables. There is a Menologist's Year Book, (2010's is available right now, in time for Christmas) with check lists so that keen spotters can tick off their finds.
A menology is an apology from a man after they 'accidentally' do something lecherous and then you don't just play along.
(This actually happened to me last night. Some guy was trying to dance with my friend, she ran away to the other side of our group, then he just turned around and tried it on me! I was none too blunt with my response, then he got all touchy about it! Couldn't believe it!)
I offer no apology
For revealing that 'menology'
Studies the common root within
All words that with 'men' do begin.
Let no surprise find readers here
When mental visions soon appear,
And menace those who aim to see
The truth about mendacity.
(Sorry, I just can't resist a challenge...)
Wow! I do love poetic additions to the blog. Well done and keep em coming.
Oh and by the way. We are away for a couple of days as we are off to see Fleetwood Mac in concert. Outdoors... If menology is the prayer for good weather I'm performing it right now.
The simplest is the best: menology is the study of MEN, plain and simple (and handsome and smart).
Wow that's a bit weird, Fleetwood Mac are playing right now! I hope the concert was good!
It is simple menology is the study of the affect that women have on men while having PMS.
( Todd didn't understand what he had done wrong when all he said was hello)
Menology is the study of mens' public conveniences....never a pleasant subject! They're usually graded by suitability of footwear required; from flip-flops to wellies.
Oh and hope you all have a good christmas break and a great nooo year!
Menology is the process used to try and decide what to buy people for Christmas. It actually derives from the 3 Wise Men, who started off the tradition of presenting a gift (or gifting a present!)at Christmas time.
Menology is the study of ramen. For years scientists and foodies alike have been trying to uncover the mystery of ramen, and why something so bad for you can taste sooooo good.
menology is the study melons and scientists conduct experiments in which scientists find out how to make melons bigger and better
Merry Christmas Wordimp.
A SUPPORTED BY THE DEVELOPER TOOLS? It was interesting. You seem very knowledgeable in ypour field.
I congratulate, the excellent message
Menoloy has to be the study of the second brain possessed by males...
The plural form of Manology, or in the Greek Andrology, "The Study of Perfection."
Plato's words, not mine, ladies.
Happy 2010, Word Imp!
Ok, Plato never actually said that.
I hope you're having a good 2010. If it's too late for me to leave a definition then feel free to disqualify me:
Menology is (or rather was) a particularly specialist area of cheesemaking. The word itself does of course come from the Ancient Greek for "moon" or "month", and dates back to a group of 19th Century cheesemakers. They used the (then) modern technology of spectography to try and work out what kind of chemical elements appeared on the surface of the moon, which as everyone knew back then was made of some kind of cheese. They then attempted to manufacture and sell "Menologically Approved" Moon Cheese. It later became apparent that our heavenly neighbour was not in fact edible, but by that point in time menology had already died out - due to the fact that their cheese tasted horrible.
