The rumbling of stomach is actually called a wamble. 5. The cry of a new born baby is called a vagitus. 6. The prongs on a fork are called tines. 7. The sheen or light that you see when you close your eyes and press your hands on them is called phosphenes. 8. The tiny plastic table placed in the middle of a pizza box is called a box tent. 9. The day after tomorrow is called overmorrow. 10. Your tiny toe or finger is called minimus. 11. The wired cage that holds the cork in a bottle of champagne is called an agraffe. 12. The 'na na na' and 'la la la', which don't really have any meaning in the lyrics of any song, are called vocables. 13. When you combine an exclamation mark with a question mark (like this ?!), it is referred to as an interrobang. 14. The space between your nostrils is called columella nasi. 15.

I guess I'm familiar with all of them. You misspelled number 1. It is glabella with a 'B' Number 4 (wamble) is actually a UK slang, like 'innit'. Number 9 (overmorrow) is now archaic/obsolete. The word is rarely used. You also misspelled number 20. It is brannock with an 'R' 26 Likes 1 Share |
