“With whom” really shows off Tammy’s librarianicity

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

"Librarianicity" implies that the adjective form would be "Librarianic", but surely the adjective form should just be "Librarian", in which case the noun of the property/trait should probably be something like "Librarianess" or "Librarianality".

My favorite cold open weirdly is the Andy Piggyback riding.
