They mean I beat the hell out of my dictionary.

For the record "hermeneutics" and "exegesis" are words for explanations
of texts, and have a religious overtone, which is appropriate when 
discussing the Texts (this little running joke of mine is the esoteric
reason for using the words).  The former has (unless I'm confused) an 
implication of secret meanings while the latter implies an obvious
reading.  Paarfi-is-Sethra is a hermeneutical reading, while "how
many weeks are there between _Phoenix_ and _Jhegaala_ based on
Vlad's statements here and here" is exegesis.  What's funny (well,
what I found funny) was that Alexx and I more often follow the
opposite approaches.
