I think "diplo-in-training" means diplomat in training. But I think it should mean this:


Main Entry: diplococcus
Etymology: New Latin, genus name
Date:circa 1881

any of various encapsulated bacteria (as Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common cause of pneumonia) that usually occur in pairs and that were formerly grouped in a single taxon (genus Diplococcus) but are now all assigned to other genera

LMBO!! I like your definition better, too.
