new word: I'll tell you later!

Several people knew that the word "nummular" means "coinlike,"
specifically referring to coin-shaped blisters or rashes on the skin. 
I'm going off on vacation in a few hours, so, rather than try to come
up with a quick word that none of you know-it-alls know, I'll let it
rest until I get back around the end of the month.

Meanwhile, why don't you share your poetry which incorporates the
words "festinate," "nummular," and "bleb."  It doesn't HAVE to be a
verse about getting to the dermatologist in a hurry, but that does
seem to be the natural direction to start with.
