Backwards?

I swear I didn't think of this before. I swear I didn't search all around looking and looking for a name for my blog. It just popped up.

The first word I thought of was scintillious. I wasn't sure of the definition, so I looked it up in my Funk & Wagnalls. "To give off sparks, to be witty; sparkle" Nope, not really me. Maybe sometimes witty. Maybe. But definitely no sparkle.

I look up the column a few words. I come on the definition of scilicet. "namely, to wit, that is to say." Hmmm. I read on: scīre licit it is permitted to know. Bingo! That's it.

I swear I didn't think of this before two minutes ago. Scīre is Erics backwards.

I don't know why I didn't, either, as one of my nicknames is cire llewop (Sire Leewahp.) In fact, that's the name in the indica on The Little Theatre Newsletter that I design and print.
