Your words means an indicator of events. It comes from putting a bell on castrated rams (wethers) to hear where the sheep may have wandered out of sight. As you know, sheep always follow their leader. I had to rescue a flock of those dummies after they followed their leader down into a ravine that they couldn't reclimb. Phooey, what a job, it took all evening.

Believe it or not, Ripley, this word was already presented by someone else, and I got it, at least enough to pass the audition. It means spewing too many words. "Logos" is Greek for word and rrhea, well we get the connection.

New word: "Riparian". By the way, being a fellah who knows sumpthin' 'bout rural life, I thought you might recognize cinches are also the belts that hang from an upright saddle with which one attaches it to a horse. The front cinch is pulled up taut to hold the saddle in place. The second, rear one is allowed to be looser so the horse can breathe properly; it's right at the horse's diaphragm.
