Word of the day, courtesy of Wordsmith.org: "zanjero," meaning "a person in charge of water distribution." As in, "Future water engineer William Mulholland got his start as a zanjero."
Word of the day, courtesy of the Java Jones on the corner of Figueroa and State: "limnovore," meaning "something that eats mud." Though, technically, the term applies to animals that feed on algae.
I have yet to decide which is better.
I vote "zanjero." Mostly because it sounds prettier than "limnovore" and is a way cooler name for that job than, say, "Water Distribution Engineer."
