Today's word of the day is borborygmus (plural borborygmi).
I figured it was something like a mythical creature of the Boreal forest... somewhat akin to big foot or Sasquatch. Maybe, it would be hairy too. Maybe it would sport a thick coat of purple fur. Maybe its fierce yellow eyes, long pointed nails and sharp teeth would be the story of legend.
Maybe it would be as depicted here:
... on a sunny day.
But, alas, borborygmus means nothing more than "a rumbling or gurgling sound caused by the movement of gas in the intestines."
I know! It's disappointing isn't it?
If you want to really verify this very disappointing definition for such a gloriously interesting word, you can visit http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/borborygmus/borborygmus. They are a real dictionary, and I have nothing to do with them or their definitions.
Well until next time folks!
