Professional Raconteur: The racket of Professing

raconteur \rack-on-TUR\, noun: One who excels in telling stories and anecdotes. Raconteur is from French, from raconter, "to relate, to tell, to narrate," from Old French, from re- + aconter. Higher education in all its "glory": teaching, writing, politics (when it's possible to be discreet, of course), and anything I have to profess or confess.
