Disclose - can we be the inventors of a new piece of wisdom

Sitting twiddling my thumbs some time back I came across a little thought that could be fun to share and see how long it takes to go round the world.

I think it is my own original thought so you can help me find out how long it takes for something to get into general usage. It is so trivial that I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

It helps to answer the questoin that if you aren't a scientist or even someone who is particularly observant how do you tell by looking at the moon whether it is getting bigger or smaller (waxing or waning)?

This is where my piece of wisdom comes into its own.
DisClose is the word you need to remember. If the moon has its outer curve on the right (like the letter D) then it is going to be a disc - it is getting bigger. If it has its curve on the left like a letter C it is closing. D for Disc, C for Close - put them together and what have you got? Disclose!

Pass it on and see how far it gets.
