Actually, I went back and checked. Credit for
alectormancy goes to guo. But still, kudos to Master K (and Baconlabs?) for finding such a great word. Hopefully we won't practice cacoepy every time we say it (if we use it).
I found a few using Master K's method that shouldn't top
callipygous, but are still cool alternate code names nonetheless (one of which is the perfect sequel to
alectormancy):
capelocracy: government by shopkeepers
capnomancy: divination by means of smoke
chirospasm: writer's cramp
codswallop : something utterly senseless; nonsense
commorant: resident of an institution
cynoclept: one who steals dogs
But yeah, I still think Master K should win this round.
EDIT: There are a lot of good
-mancy words. Check out a few of these:
catoptromancy: divination by examining mirror placed underwater
causimancy: divination by means of fire
ceneromancy: divination using ashes
cephalonomancy: divination by boiling an ass head *Note: word filter strikes again. Should be three-letter donkey word.
ceraunomancy: divination using thunderbolts
ceromancy : divination by means of wax drippings
chaomancy: divination by examining phenomena of the air
cleidomancy: divination using keys
cleromancy: divination using dice
conchomancy: divination using shells
coscinomancy: divination using a sieve and a pair of shears
crithomancy: divination by strewing meal over sacrifices
critomancy: divination using viands and cakes
cromnyomancy: divination using onions
There are others, but these are the fun ones.
