Rhino Lovers Everywhere
My friend Halli subscribed me to the Word-a-Day service, where I get (duh) a new word delivered to my email box each day (lucky or not). Thought you rhinoerotica freaks would love this:
rhinorrhea (ry-nuh-REE-uh) noun: A runny nose. [From Neo-Latin, from Greek rhino- (nose), -rrhea (flow).]Another word with the same prefix: rhinoceros. Another word with the same suffix: logorrhea (excessive flow of words:talkativeness). So what happens when you combine these two words? You redefine rhinorrhea: a rhinoceros who talks too much.
So much fun.
