This bbs is going to be so difficult to prepare for...every resource that I have explains the scripture from different angles, making it hard to combine them all to make a coherent thing...long day ahead.

Mathematicians certainly have a sense of humour in choosing terminologies. Here's one: given a graph, the minimum number of forests whose union is the graph is called the arboricity of the graph. Why arboricity? I'll let you figure that out...it certainly isn't a word in the dictionary...but it's just sort of funny. Even funnier is the caterpillar arboricity...
