I think you probably have to DEFINE what you mean really well if you are going to use hermeneutics with a word like clitoris- for example, to free associate- this makes me visualize a Birkenstock wearing, hairy armpitted, possibly lesbian (certainly bi) women's studies major from Berkeley who I met at a bookstore. The word may not be used EXCLUSIVELY by such people, but she certainly would have used it happily. Not that there was anything wrong with her, but she had a definite constellation of VIEWS, if you will. Some people are like that. They don't have many surprising vistas- they sort of ARE what they seem to be. non-surprising, uncomplicated, bundles of ideology.

"exegesis" In Fall of '97, I stumbled upon a book [inMountainview,CA],written by Astro Teller,[the Grandson of one of the Founding Fathers of Global Destruction], called...Exegesis. *Exegesis \Ex'ege"sis\, n.; pl. {Exegeses}. [NL., fr.Gr. ?,fr. ? to explain, interpret; ? out + ? to guide, lead, akin, to ? to lead. See {Agent}.] 1. Exposition; explanation; especially, a critical explanation of a text or portion of Scripture. 2. (Math.) The process of finding the roots of an equation. [Obs.] exegesis n 1: an explanation or critical interpretation (especially of the Bible) 2: critical interpretation of a text (especially of the Bible)... Hermeneutics \Her'meneu"tics\, n. [Gr. ? (sc. ?).] The science of interpretation and explanation; exegesis; esp., that branch of theology which defines the laws whereby the meaning of the Scriptures is to be ascertained. --Schaff-Herzog Encyc. hermeneutics* n : the branch of theology that deals with principles of exegesis... I think we can safely say that both mean, "critical interpretation and/or explanation". I wonder if the Oracle can tell me if 'hermeneutics' derives from 'Hermes'...the Wing-footed messenger of the gods...
