borborygmus
PRONUNCIATION:
(bor-buh-RIG-muhs) 
MEANING:
noun: A rumbling noise caused by the movement of gas through the intestines. ETYMOLOGY:
From Greek borborygmos (intestinal rumbling), an onomatopoeiac word to describe the sound. NOTES:
Borborygmi are usually harmless, they are simply a result of gas movement around the stomach. And the rumbling sound doesn't mean one is hungry either. We can't really do anything about the sound of a stomach growling, but we can take comfort in the fact that at least we know a fancy word to describe it. And, as a bonus, a compelling thought
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. -Confucius, philosopher and teacher (c. 551-478 BCE)
