In article <1924@brazos.Rice.edu> preston@titan.rice.edu (Preston Briggs)
writes (about words containing "oo"):

   Naah.  Booze, boob (ok, maybe not), boondoggle, zoo.
   At least that's what caught my eye as the list rolled by.

My personal favorites were the words beginning with the morpheme "oo",
meaning "related to ovum".  Some possible definitions:

oocyte:	    a class definition
oogenesis:  the process of writing class definitions
oolite:	    an immutable object
oologist:   one who studies object-oriented programming and design
oosphere:   the world of object-oriented programming and design
	    (compare "noosphere")

Oologically yours,
