I'm going with this because it's the name of the Mars helicopter NASA has just flown. It's a great word, and a pleasing event, so I thought, "Why not?"

"Does shriekorrhea work for you‽," he asked with an interrobang!

Shriekorama sounds like a come-on for an old-fashioned horror movie. But that's not using it to mean exclamation point.

Since it boils down to cramming, I wonder if that's what we need to do when hungry. Seems to me farcination would almost be a punishment; making someone eat until they burst.

I do wonder if there is any hidden meaning in the fact that mama in Georgian is father in English. How is it that the bilabial plosive that led to mama meaning mother in one language means father in another? Ah, the sweet mysteries of language!

I understand that in the wake of COVID-19 disruptions, the supply of ketchup packets is tight. Amazing how everything is all tied together.
