minus-squarethemadcodger@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·5 hours agoBorborygmus I use often enough, but it’s not widely known. It’s the gurgling sound produced by the movement of gas through your intestines. Limaceous I almost never use, but I enjoy it anyway. It means characteristic of or pertaining to slugs. And lastly, tawdry is one of my favorites meaning showy but cheap and poor quality.
