    Borborygmus noun (plural borborygmi) (from Greek βορβορυγμός) also known as stomach growling or rumbling is the rumbling sound produced by the movement of gas through the intestines of animals, including humans. The word borborygmus is an onomatopoeia for this rumbling.

    The "rumble" or "growl" sometimes heard from the stomach is a normal part of digestion. It originates in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine as muscles contract to move food and digestive juices down the gastrointestinal tract and functions as a sort of intestinal "housecleaning". Sometimes it occurs as part of the migrating myoelectric complex.

    Although this muscle contraction happens whether or not food is present, rumbles are more common after the animal has gone several hours without eating. This may be why a "growling" stomach is often associated with hunger.

    Rumbles may also occur when there is incomplete digestion of food that can lead to excess gas in the intestine. In humans this can be due to incomplete digestion of carbohydrate-containing foods including milk and other dairy products (lactose intolerance or the use of α-glucosidase inhibitors by diabetics), gluten (protein in wheat, barley, and rye) (celiac disease), fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and high-fiber whole grains. In rare instances, excessive abdominal noise may be a sign of digestive disease, especially when accompanied by abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. An example of a disease that may be associated with this symptom are carcinoid tumors.

    It is thought that some borborygmi can be treated with the ingestion of olive oil, allowing the fatty acids to decrease the muscular contractions of the intestines.


    Hence the *BURB!* .. although as onomatopoeia goes perhaps a *pharrrrrp* would have been better received

    For some reason I also like 'preambulate'. It sounds peaceful, like a quiet stroll in the country side....

    My pottery students think the word 'deflocculant' is hilarious! A deflocculant is an agent for thinning suspensions or slurries, like clay casting slip.

    I also like the word 'imbecile'.

    Today's word is Zenzizenzizenzic - meaning the 8th Power of something.

    The zenzizenzizenzic of 2 is 256.. for example.

    would be a killer word in scrabble.. if you had that many Z's

    bumptious


    meaning presumptuously, obtusely, and often noisily self-assertive (typical american then) !!!
    Example

    "I wish the DJ at this venue wasn't so bumptious," said Andrea. "I'd prefer to just listen to the music."

    OOOOOH i like this word.....it has a nice sound to it.
