    		Excellent! Gmack and dejavu share this yay. If you are "doing banting," you are on the 19th-century version of the Atkins Diet, associated with William Banting, who lost weight by avoiding fruits and grains.

    As an undertaker, he might have been trying to hasten the deaths of other people, but Banting did live to be 82 years old.

    Another obsolete term from "The Word Museum."
