Let’s see some homework. Note that the “g” in today’s word is soft, pronounced like a “j” as in John Kerry’s pronunciation of Jenjis Khan.

I fear the news that Lebron James is organizing an NBA boycott is slowly turning me into a hypergelast!

hypergelast — the final person in a group to use a particular high colonic.

Good morning - although not newsworthy, I used to have stepsisters who were hypergelasts. They were dumb as posts to begin with but would laugh at anything - in the middle of a sentence - at inappropriate things. We were always stunned at the giggling fools.
