borborygmus

So, wait, humongous.

What was the other two? Borborygmus.

Mm-hmm.

And snollygaster.

Humongous was the first one.

Snallygaster is the third one.

It's Borborygmus.

Borborygmus.

Yes, and that very squeezing action creates the actual scientific star of our deep dive today.

And that word is borborygmus.

Borborygmus.

I love that word.

It is almost impossible to say without smiling.

Borborygmus.

It's just a magnificent scientific term, isn't it? It actually comes from an ancient Greek word, and it's an onomatopoeia.

Oh, meaning the word itself is supposed to mimic the sound it describes, like buzz or pop.

Yeah, and borborygmus is all those noises the gut makes.

That's the scientific word.

Borborygmus, get that one.

Tell that to people in a cocktail party.

Bor-

Borborygmus.

Borborygmus is the medical term of a rumbling, growling, or gurgling noise produced by the movement of gas and fluid through the intestines.

Oh my goodness.
