Chunder's a great word, I'll have to avoid chundering
(now I like it even more, a thunder of chunder) at
sight of another SUV commercial.

The origin of 'spegunking' is lost in the relics of
our lexicon landfill, but it's fairly popular across
Canada.  It means, 'to picketh one's nose.'  I've yet
to see it in print, but it's such a nice word that the
art and sport of spegunking is likely to rise.  On a
related note, spegunking related deaths usually happen
within five miles of the home.  Don't spegunk and
drive.
