diu-teronomy

Deuteronomy is one of the five books that make up the Old Testament.

Inspired by the vocabularic similarity to my word flavour of the year(see: 'diu')I decided to wiki it (yes, wiki is now a kata kerja). Of the many contents, my favourite is:

"Prohibition against wives making a groin attack on their husband's adversary"

This I think speaks of either volumes of common practice during 7 century BC which warranted a place in the foreverness of the Old Testament, or (more disturbingly) something personal about the author's life, which he really wanted to stop.

It also speaks of the use of Tzitzit - which are dangly tassels worn by Jewish men - which is the all time coolest word of the year

Now is a really good time to call anything the Anything-est of the Year, since the year is coming to the end.
