There&rsquo;s other results from <a class="link" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/eschatology" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >reference.com</a> and <a class="link" href="http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=eschatology&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >so on</a>.</p> <p>I saw the word whilst reading <a class="link" href="https://nanikore.net/2012/03/31/the-words-of-noda/" >Microserfs</a> before. Surely there&rsquo;s a business plan positively <em>dying</em> for this word?</p>
