Yggur

...you're a professional straightman, Tophat. Thanks:
Yggur is one of the main characters in Ian Irvine's series of book, The Three Worlds Cycle. He appears in both The View from the Mirror and The Well of Echoes quartets. He is a mancer of surpassing power and is very long-lived, despite being old human and having never used his Art to lengthen his life.

As the story unfolds, Xervish Flydd and his companions then seek hiding at Fiz Gorgo, where the great mancer Yggur is found to still reside. Yggur is at first reluctant to aid the scrutator, but with some help from Irisis Yggur soon commits to their cause; to bring down the Council of Scrutators. Flydd and Yggur work together to find away to draw a thapter to them. During an exercise practising the Art required, Flydd is injured. When a thapter is witnessed near by at Alcifer, Yggur uses his Art to draw it to Fiz Gorgo.

Sorry, but I too would be reluctant to aid a titled produce molester.

METASYNTACTIC

The phrase metasyntactic variable is a neologism that is used in some programmer communities to describe a placeholder name or an alias term commonly used to denote the subject matter under discussion or an arbitrary member of a class of things under discussion. The term originates from computer programming and other technical contexts, and is commonly used in examples by hackers and programmers. The use of a metasyntactic variable is helpful in freeing a programmer from creating a logically named variable, although the invented term may also become sufficiently popular and enter the language as a neologism.

may I be so bold as to take a two-fer?
