HAGIOLOGY

 

HAGIOLOGY (n.)

What do you mean it has something to do with the study of blithering biddies, cackling crones or horrible hags like one's mother-in-law or boss who wears steel-toed stilettos?

Hint: Hagiology has more in common with with myths and magic than superannuated sylphs or testy troglodytes. To be more specific, it is literature that narrates the lives and legends of saints and venerated holy people or, ephemeral events of a supernatural nature.

Note: Superman is not considered a deity, even if he is able to jump buildings with a single bound and to run faster than a speeding bullet.
