epismetology

From a Steve Miller song, "Enter Maurice", which uses the words "sweet words of epismetology". It was probably a misheard version of "pizmotality", a word coined in 1954 by Vernon Green of the Medallions. "Pizmotality" meant words so secret they can only be revealed to a lover. See "pompatus".

"My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of the pompatus (pompitous) of love" (from "Enter Maurice", by Steve Miller)
