[Facts] Re: Pavlos - can you help with a Greek word?
My pleasure to help!
Terimon is the brand name of a drug containing Tamoxifen. The US version is know as Nolvadex. Tamoxifen is an estrogen-antagonist used to treat breast cancer in women. On a bizarre note, many male bodybuilders abuse Tamoxifen to avoid so-called "bitch tits" which result from anabolic steroid abuse (as mentioned in the movie "Fight Club").
May a suggest that you condider a different approach?

Erm, I take your point about going about this a different way, although in a more liberal world, I think naming the mare "Bitch Tit" could have a heck of an impact in the funny world of showing horses!Whilst it isn't exactly a nice name from that point of view, there's a small laugh there, as Terimon's sire is called Bustino! I wonder if it was a man with a chest fixation involved in the naming......Thanks very much for your help! I will pass it on.

PS It is not surprising that an anagram of Terimon is "men riot!" ;)
