I wonder if they go by “Mumpsi” for short? I like a good nickname.

I had to go to my 4-inch (10 cm) thick dictionary to find how this one is pronounced. Just like it’s spelled, with accent on the first syllable, in case anyone has cause to use the word. (?)

Mumpsimus sounds like a great name for a rock and roll band. They could do rock and roll covers of old easy listening tunes.
