Better dig out your dictionary and look up 'oxymoron,' Rick. That's a word for a term which is self-contradictory, like 'military intelligence' or 'Justice Rehnquist.' The first one may have originated with my ex but it came from my mnemonic capacity -- my memory.
The contradiction comes from "and". Your mnemonic capacity, but the ex's fertilized imagination. I can supply definition for "and" and "or" or "or" and "and".
Don't want anyone trying to take credit for someone else's discoveries. I do note that you first gave her credit, but then you said, "they all come from my fertilized imagination and mnemonic capacity". Since this pun didn't come from your fertilizer (actually, I think I may have stepped into something, and I'm not saying your logic stinks) that would once again show that generalizations are not true.
Now - on to that BONY pun.
