Often widely misspelled “''buttocratic''” — believed to be product of a confusion with the medico’s ''Hippocratic Oath'' — buttocractic, with a “c”, in fact comes from the Greek concept of “buttocraxis” (''βυτοκρακτική'', notated by the Greek lower case [[omega]] ([[ω]])), which is of course the ancient theological disposition of ''being elsewhere when blame is attributed'', or “avoiding the [[apocalypse]]”. | |||
