No. I owe my recognition of the word to my ability and willingness, when I was young and foolish, to offend obnoxious idiots.

I was once called a Zoramite. I had suggested to an obnoxious member of the church of the LDS who had been nasty to a friend of mine that his unpleasant doctrinaire nonsense was as bad as the rubbish spouted a few centuries ago by some proponents of the doctrines of irresistible grace and of unconditional election driving many people to such utter despair that they ended up in lunatic asylums (every church has doctrinaire idiots, and there are agnostic idiots too) and he lost his rag and called me one. As I hadn't a clue what it meant I had to look the word up - on paper, in a library, with assistance from a librarian (librarians were extremely useful people in the days before google, the web, the internet, and all the modern conveniences). Having found it, and read the chapter (whose name I forget) of the LDS scripture that tells about the Zoramites, I remembered the word Zoramite (I remember things I have to work to find much better than I remember things I can just google and get the answer in the first couple of results). I didn't actively remember the word Rameumptom but your "Rameumptom" reminded me of it so I must have remembered it passively. I'll have forgotten it again tomorrow or the next day (in the sense that if I want a word for a high place, big enough for a single person, for reciting Zoramite "prayers" in, I won't be able to think of one) but if I see it I'll probably recognise it - it'll be in passive vocabulary, not active, again.

That is good that you recalled it. I like that bring up the idea to work for what you learn. Ability to recall works much better that way.

Too bad about the obnoxious person. His attempt to insult did him no good in the end.
