My dad introduced me to this word this morning...

n. pl. borborygmi:
A rumbling noise produced by the movement of gas through the intestines.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :)

Borborygmi is such a useful word.

And, it's funny, the other day we (my family) were watching a home video from 10 years ago, and it was filmed on Christmas morning. And what word does my father randomly utter? You guessed it, 'borborygmi'.

Everyone memorize this word and put it to use. Everyone experiences borborygmi, sometimes multiple times a day.

And no, the n. does not stand for Nicoleism, nor does it stand for Nicolitis. It stands for Noun.
