A quick celebrational dancing word for the weekend. The best meaning is the second one though:
tripudium n an ancient Roman religious dance in triple time, or dance generally; divination from the hopping of birds feeding, or from the dropping of scraps from their bills. adj tripudiary vi tripudiate to dance for joy; to exult; to stamp n tripudiation. [Origin from Latin tripudium, probably from tres three, and pes, pedis foot.
Divination from the hopping of birds? Mustn't tell my mum about this or she'll start using it to pick lottery numbers.

'ancient roman religious dace?' Is that some sort of Pontifex Pisci?
