just a language thing hysterical is from the greek for "uterus is detached" from which we get "hysterectomy"

while i digress another interesting mis-used word is "moot" we often say "well, thats a moot point" meaning its unargueable whereas it actually means it IS argueable. odd i think that common usuage is opposite of actual meaning.

A moot point can be either the main point, or a point not worth discussing. For some reason, this has always bothered me.
