Wow! Callipygian! What a great word! Dugg for that alone. My favorite word is argy bargy which means to argue amongst yourselves noisily. I love words.
Same with the medical field. Any doctor or med student who doesn't use borborygmi, fontanelles, lanulae, and philtrum mean needs to see some different patients to spice things up a bit. And contrails and emoticons? Those seem pretty common to me. To qualify my statement, you should technically never hear the word "borborygmus" in a sentence because you can't technically hear a single stomach rumble. They come in groups, called borborygmi (go go Latin!). Anybody who says they heard a borborygmus either a) didn't really listen to the patient's abdomen, or b) need to look up what the word means. Cue the NBC "The More You Know" music.

I've always felt weird when I've had to say it. Just an oddball word that sounds vaguely perverted. heh

"Syncrosoft" has a USB Dongle for handling licenses for Software Synthesizers and plugins such as Cubase or Refx's VST rompler, Nexus.
