FRS?
So after finding this in a book I'm reading. "Sir Ghillean Prance FRS" and having no idea what FRS stood for...Sarah and I decided to make up something. We came up with...Fallacious Rapacious Salacious. Because it rhymes. We didn't know what the last two words meant.
FRS actually is the abbreviation for Fellows of the Royal Society. From Wikipedia: "a title awarded to distinguished scientists who are British, Commonwealth or Republic of Ireland citizens" I'm proud of myself because I thought "FRS" sounded British. Past presidents of the Royal Society include Sir J. J. Thomson (discoverer of the electron and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906), Sir Ernest Rutherford (founder of nuclear physics and winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908) and Sir Isaac Newton (you should know who this is).
For those who aren't word nerds, if you're fallacious, rapacious and salacious, you would be deceptive, inordinately greedy, and lecherous. Sarah and I may one day be ousted from the scientific community.
