Myrmecophily for the perplexed
At J.’s job a discussion ran aground on whether to put full stops in the web copy, and her Dutch coworker brought up the word mierenneuker, meaning “ant-fucker,” which I’ve since been delighted to spread around. As Ray points out, it’s a better word than “nitpicker” because picking nits actually serves a purpose.
The punchline is that people get corrected for spelling the word incorrectly, with a single ‘n.’
