About the Rat
Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more

Webster does not give any othe defintion to this word but for :
Mawson: biographical name
Sir Douglas 1882-1958 Australian polar explorer & geologist; leader of several Antarctic expeditions
What do you think is there any connection between the original meaning of the word and new-developed one?
