The origin of the word is unknown and potentially unimportant. Extensive yet controversial studies have traced it back to
ancient Rome; however, being controversial, these studies probably involve the mistreatment of

the definition. Methererem, pronounced "meth-er-ER-em," is the emberyouwe of the existence of small, ferret-like creatures in the sewage drains of a surburban town in Nebraska.
Another definition: the purpose of life.
