Curious Word: Bailiwick
Another gem from the Prof:
1. A person's specific area of knowledge, authority, interest, skill, or work.Let's be honest...I just like the sound of the word. "No, sir, that is most certainly not my bailiwick."
2. The office or district of a bailiff.
"My bailiwick has never been with women."
(A spy might say:) "I have not and will not expose my bailiwick."
Possibilities = endless.
