Why do some word suggestions hang around for 6+ years without a response? Well one reason is that sometimes a suggestion blossoms out into multiple suggestions, so I wearily put it aside. But as this is now, as far as I know, the only outstanding new word suggestion - aside from those involving the dreaded "plurals" rule - I'm determined to dispense with it.
So I'm resolutely ignoring issues like
chem,
phys,
hist, etc, and focusing exclusively on
biol.
I never actually took a subject called Biology, so I have no memory of what students called it. In the case of
econ I was able to find some examples from fiction of the word being used as a casual term for
economics. I can't find any similar examples for
biol. It could be that the word is used quite often in conversation, but I can't see any evidence for it, so I'm leaving it out of our list for now.
