If you’re in Hawaii you can have lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi for your entree.

Wow! It’s even longer’n humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, the Hawai’ian name for the reef triggerfish (Rhinecanthus rectangulus)!

Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa means “triggerfish with a snout like a pig.” It’s also loadsa fun to say aloud!

TIL that the humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa has the second-longest fishie name in the Hawai’ian language.

Tip o’ the keyboard to wikipedja, who fixed my almost corect speling thereof.

And 9 u’s!!!

The Lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi only has 6 i’s. But it does have 5 u’s in addition.

We lived in Hawai’i when I was about 10. I learned it meant “tiny fish with big name.” In the intervening years I guess the translation must have been upgraded.

I always wondered where the US kept its strategic reserve of “U’s”

So I guess a micro-disability is when you take a day off from work for a cold.

Pretty sure what they mean by “micro-retirement” is quitting your job and choosing to take some time without having a job, before you look for a different job—as opposed to taking vacations while you continue to hold the same job. :woman_shrugging:t2:

That’s how I usually did it when I was younger, because once you started a new job you didn’t get any time off until after you’d been there a year, and then you only got one week off.

Fair, but then it would be a career break or maybe sabbatical, and as your experience testifies still isn’t some weird new trend that needs an inane neologism.

Oh, I dunno
 I like neologisms. And I think that each generation needs to discover things anew for themselves, and name them as they see fit. (And then we olders can talk about it and say Well In my day
 :wink: )

History may not repeat exactly, but it rhymes, etc. (to butcher Mark Twain, I think
)
