Be it resolved that, whereas the entomological community presently refers to the fecal material of insects as "frass," and the orifice from which said frass emerges as the "anus;" and whereas students and laypersons not in the entomological community may find the terminology difficult to remember and understand, dull, or otherwise problematic; said community is hereby ordered, on the authority of Mr. Subjunctive and any of his blog commenters as may see fit to undersign this resolution, to immediately modify all internal or public documents, including press releases, textbooks, published papers, or other communication, in which the individual or collective anuses of any insect or group of insects are referred to, in such a way that all instances of the word "anus" are replaced with the word "frasshole." This action is to be completed no later than 1 July 2011.
