DEAD WORD OF THE DAY

quackle: to interrupt breathing, to choke

(from: _The Word Museum_ by Jeffrey Kacirk)


FRIDAY BONUS ROUND!

Enormous German Word

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

(das, 63 letters) "beef labeling regulation & delegation of supervision law"

(Lordy, I love a language that can produce a word that intimidating!)
