A Leper?

[JH]

Let's add to this discussion the term applied to those who watch moths - are
they mothers?  I generally add an apostrophe making it moth'ers, to avoid
confusion with me' dear ol' mum.

>In a recent post I saw the words Leper and butterflier, So, I went to visit
my old friend Webster Dictionary. The word Leper is is there, however, it
has nothing to do with Lepidoptera, it is someone with the disease,
Leprosy.The word butterflier is not in my 1999 Webster Dictionary. I also
looked in the Dictionary of Words used by the late Howard Cosell, was not
there either.
