ombrology

Oh. Oh dear. *hides face*

Yep. See poor trivet's first comment, below.

So... wait. Is this a real word?

...and when heavy mist threatens, I grab my trusty omburg. Unfortunately it only comes in gray and burnt omber...not very exciting Crayola colors. I tried magic markers but they just can't make much headway against the former, and none at all against the latter...

Yes, umbrellas! In retired Crayola colors.

You know, though, this makes sense. When it looks like rain, I always reach for my ombrella. Sometimes, if it looks *really* rainy, I reach for my hombrella.

Maybe, but somebody got the H out of there. ;-)

And anyway, I thought ombrology was the study of hombres.

Oh, my. I think all of these pseudologies should go on AbraxasZugzwang's wordization list. That goes for vexiology, too, however accidental.

Wrong again! Good heavens; where did you go to school? Clannadology is the study of large groups of Scottish people who collect dolls.

No, no. That's clannadology. Eeeeeniacology is pronounced with a long e, that's why it's confusing.

I don't think so. Eniacology is, of course, the study of ethereal-sounding Irish music.

No, no, that's eniacology, reesetee. You're confused. ;)

Trivet, I thought astacology was the study of the dog in "The Thin Man" movies. Isn't it?

Nah. Crayology is the study of enormously large, room-sized supercomputers, isn't it?

I concur. Might be confused with astacology, though.

I think that's crayology, reesetee.

Are you sure this isn't the study of retired Crayola colors?

The study of rain.
