Micro-Physio-Biology

These college kids, they have their own language. It is entirely up to me to interpret what they're saying, and pretend I know what they're talking about. I asked one of the students her major. She said, "micro-physio-biology." Hmmm. OK, micro is small. Physio has something to do with science, anatomy, and organs. Biology is the study of life. So, putting all that together, I conclude that this girl studies the organs of small life forms. I keep my interpretation to myself and smile and nod and wish more people would have one-word majors like English or math.
