Last week's Word Not To Use Today, lobe, was bad enough. But this is even worse.
Lobule.
The only good thing about a lobule is that it's generally smaller than a lobe.
The dreadful thing is that you have them inside you. In your brain:
(that one, the paracentral lobule, controls the movement and feelings in the lower limbs, and also peeing and pooing); in your liver, your kidneys...
...basically, eeerrrgghhh...
Word Not To Use Today: lobule. This comes from the Greek lobos, which means lobe. And, oh, I do wish it hadn't.
PS Apparently there's also something to do with machines called a lobular drive, but sheer horror prevents me from investigating it.
