Cine ar fi zis?

 A "spermologer" is a person who collects trivial facts, gossip, or scraps of news; the word is now rarely used but literally means "a collector of seeds". The term comes from the Ancient Greek word spermologos, suggesting someone who picks up little bits of information, much like a bird gathers seeds. 

  • Primary meaning: A gossip or someone who collects trivia and idle talk.
  • Literal meaning: A collector or storer of seeds.
  • Usage: The word is now obsolete, but its meaning refers to someone who is a busybody and an accumulator of small pieces of information.
  • Example: "Be careful what you say around him, he's the office spermologer".
