Maybe that should be "hydrœlectric", then! 172.71.242.85 21:59, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Clearly some lone editor had a grudge against hermeneutics, putting 'study' in scare quotes like that. AzureArmageddon 07:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Hippopotamic Oath: First, lead your horse to water. 172.70.86.139 08:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Cap doffed. Cap very much doffed. Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 20:16, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Hypobolic Oath: Do your worst! 172.70.250.73 09:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Hypochondriac Oath: First, pretend to be sick! Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 13:05, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Nitpick: Hypochondriacs don't pretend to be sick, they believe they have an illness or are unduly worried about the possibility of having an illness. Someone who pretends to be sick is a malingerer. 172.69.70.135 16:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok, fair :) So: Hypochondriac Oath: First, consult your doctor! Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 08:32, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

"A hippodrome is a circular arena" The classical Greek/Roman was not circular: "One end of the ancient Greek hippodromos was semicircular, and the other end square with an extensive portico" Maybe it would be more correct to talk about pairs of hypergolic substances?

I think the hyperbaric oath is probably referring to hyperbaric chambers, which are used in medical settings, such as treating scuba divers suffering from the bends. 14:08, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

I wonder if the "holigraphic" one is directly inspired by this recent display. (Although, by my reading, that's not really holographic, just an advanced form of stereographic display.) 172.71.178.171 06:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I missed the Hydroponic Oath (“first, maintain nutrient concentration”), the Hypocritic Oath (“first, judge others as you don't wish to be judged”), and the Hyperbolic Oath (“first, take two intersecting asymptotes”). 108.162.221.60 15:34, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Isn't the Hypocritic Oath just "First, don't do this"?

I prefer the Hypocritical oath (insert political party of your choosing here). 172.71.219.106 17:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

All of them. Trogdor147 (talk) 18:18, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
