Father of Tabitha

Retromingent adjective Cowardly (literally, 'urinating backward).
 
I'd been taught the word back in grammar school but had never seen it again until a link provided by DD had it as their Weird Word of the Week.

    You rang?

    :)

    Not sure which article that was, but it's a good word.

    Lions are apparently retromingent. Makes a lot of sense, unless you like walking in your own pee.
