[] Does anyone know what those bulletin boards outside houses of worship are called? You know, the black rectangular things (occasionaly topped by a flattish triangle), held up on grey posts, that announce - usually with white letters that push into slits on the black fabric - the times of services and the topic of the sermon among other things. I came across the word several years ago but have forgotten it. My search among thesauruses and dictionaries has proved fruitless. If my memory serves correctly, the word is a neo-Latin (i.e., multi-syllabic, pedantic-sounding) coinage. Help is sought and will be much appreciated.
