And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

edit: In no way was I implying that NYC is/was/shall be "hell." I've had a lousy day, and me thinks it's time for Maria to head home.

Hee! I was going to answer "But I live in Brooklyn!" only it looked like much too easy a straight line.

Okay, it's saying 67 now. Someone must have taken the thermostat out of the freezer.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Matronym.

So one might shoo with "Va!" or "Vas-y!"

So this is what I should use? Not "Allez!"?

I'm confused, but I guess that's what I get for trying to toss in bits of a language I've never studied.

matronymic, n. and a. a. A name derived from that of a mother or maternal ancestor, esp. by the addition of an affix indicating such descent.

So says the OED. No entry for matronym.
