Your Quote:

You are not an expert, Ginny. You are a fraud, snake-oil saleswoman, 
mountebank, charlatan, quack, a self-proclaimed equine miracle worker who knows 
just enough to be dangerous

A "mountebank"???  I had to look that one up.

According to Dictionary.com (how's that for a reliable source!) the definition 
is:

mountebank \MOUN-tuh-bank\, noun:

1. A peddler of quack medicine, who stands on a platform to appeal to the 
audience.

2. A charlatan; a boastful pretender to knowledge or a skill. 


Cool!  Mountebank is going to be my word of the day tomorrow.  Now I just need 
an excuse to use it.  Hhmm, I think I'll schedule a dentist appointment.  

Hehehe....

Grossly off topic, sorry.
