Borborygmus

Hi all,
Do you know what it is.
Most likely you've experienced it within the last few days.
It's one of those things that you know, but you don't know the technical name for it.
It's called borborygmus.
That's pronounced bor bo rig mus.
So what exactly is borborygmus?
It's a condition of the stomach and intestines.
It's not serious enough to keep you from work; but if you do
happen to miss work for some other reason, you can truthfully
say that you've had a bad case of borborygmus lately.
People won't know what it is and will most likely be too
embarrassed to ask. They might also move back slightly.
This isn't super inspirational. Actually it's not inspirational at all, but you will get the smug feeling that you know something that 99% of the population doesn't.
The next time you see some smart Alec rattling on about something they are an expert in, ask them have they had an attack of borborygmus lately. That'll shut them up.
So what exactly is borborygmus?
It's stomach rumble or commonly called stomach growling when you are hungry.
Technically it's the rumbling sounds made by the movement of gases in the stomach and intestine.
Knowledge is power.
