Word for the day : Borborygm
Meaning : The gurgling sounds made by the stomach after eating.
Usage 1: The plural is “borborygmi” and the adjective “borborygmic.” Borborygmi form the
gastromantic data base (see WotD Archives for “gastromancy”). “Borborology” is a both rare and archaic alternate with an unexpected meaning: profanity. However, it is difficult not to believe that gastromantics are students of borborology, not of profanity but of
borborygmi.
Suggested usage: Today we offer you a more presentable expression for the less acceptable “gut-rumblings.
