Does it have something to do with "prophylatic" ?
I don't know what that means either  -  not just
kidding, seriously I don't, though I have a pretty 
strong suspicion it may be some sort of laxative. 
I suppose I ought to look both words up in the dictionary. 
Could a didactyic be some sort of laxative used by 
the late princess Di in pursuit of anorexic skinniness?

Okay Andy, you used the word  -  what does it mean?
