I am mightily impressed with the quality of prizes on offer at this wonderful blog. Who did you say it belongs to again?
More impressive still is the word itself. Borborygmus. Even the repetition of the first two syllables adds to its unloveliness, and lends it a slightly unnerving quality. The very word itself has a stutter, and the letters of the third syllable are particularly ugly to behold.
Many congratulations, Princess Tea, on a very worthy winner.
