I'm looking for word that means "from the blood" or "in the blood". I think it'd be a preposition, but I'm not good with parts of speech, so I'll just give ya the context. "Measured various [word] physiological markers". I'm looking for a word like "blood-borne", but that's got disease connotations, I keep coming back to "bloodal" but that isn't a word and it probably wouldn't even mean what I want it to if it was a word. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Aaadddaaammm 00:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
There is, I believe, a term that describes an individual who has a name that is coincident with their job, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. For example, if Steve Baker was a baker (rather than a programmer), or less strictly, Arsene Wenger being the manager of Arsenal F.C.. Anyone know? Rockpocke t 08:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
There is a proctologist named Anil Gupta and were a pair of dentists named Paler & Weaker. StuRat 22:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
