We learned that word around the 4th grade. Needless to say 9 and 10 year old boys made a big joke of it.

No, I don't know that one. But I'd guess it has something to do with being uneven. That's just a guess. I'm probably so far off base that it's laughable.

No, but it makes sense. "Ob" for against and "loquy" for speech, like soliloquy. (I can say it, but I can't spell it. Spelling was always my worst subject!)

Please do. If you use them and I don't know them, I'll have to look them up, so I'll learn something new too.
