I consider myself to have a fairly good vocabulary.  Not to brag, but there are few words in common use out there that I have never heard or don’t at least have some inkling about their meaning.  Not that I know every word in the english language, of course; that can be proved just by looking at some of the words on the national spelling bee lists or even just playing a game of Balderdash.  But in my general reading, I rarely need to look up anything in the dictionary.  Therefore, when I find a new word I’ve never heard before that I find interesting, I kind of dote on it, and try to use it and talk about it as much as possible.  So, today’s word of the week is galactagogue.  Boy, is that fun to say.  Try it. Ga-lac-ta-gogue.  Kind of rolls off the tongue, huh?  Now, I’m going to challenge you all to figure out what this word means, without looking it up.  I’ll give you a hint:  it is not an overly formal teacher from outerspace.  I’ll post the answer in a couple of days.
