hypodemic

n. A disease whose fully reproductive rate (R) is less than 1; a disease with an average probability of infecting less than one susceptible new host; a disease that is on the decline.
(not to be confused with hypodermic)

When R is greater than 1, the infection is growing exponentially, and it's at that point that it's known as an epidemic. When it holds steady around 1, that's when a disease is called endemic. And less than one means that it's on the decline. Hypodemic?

Herodes

(Noun) - The Greek God of being wrong. Actually the Latin and Greek spelling of the name Herod a common name before Herod the Great, Herodes Magnamus, tried to kill baby Jesus. He kinda screwed up the future of that name.

"I prayed to the Greek god Herodes yesterday and nothing happened because he doesn't f***ing exist."

"My dad told me I wasn't going to amount to anything in life, so I prayed to Herodes to make him be wrong it didn't work."

"Remember when Herodes tried to kill Jesus?" "Yeah, that was a dick move."

Herod Clause

Sometimes such clauses are included to test whether the contract has been read by the client. Named for King Herod in the New Testament. British origin.

"I reviewed that contract and it has a Herod Clause on page three."
