Barefoot brings up hagiography, which I first learned through that most Canadian and accomplished of authors, Robertson Davies, who was a 'saint hunter' in both his personal and written life. I highly recommend his Deptford Trilogy, which has elements of hagiography. And finally, do you know the word skookum? I grew up with that term (meaning something is robust and totally sweet) and recently found out it's only known here in the Pacific North West / BC area. It's a Chinook jargon word.

It's the study of saints, and is also used to describe an overly flattering or reverential biography. I knew this one already, but heard it pronounced differently. I went and check and, in fact, it's a hard 'g'. Well, I guess both g's are hard. And the initial 'a' rhymes with 'bag'. Here’s a good one for you that might be new: hagiography.
