word of the day - aug 28 08

chthonic
adjective
dwelling in or under the earth; also, pertaining to the underworld.

come on now! that's totally a made up word. that's 1-2-3-4, FOUR big consonants in a row! isn't that illegal or something? the spell-checker in my blog editor doesn't even like this word!
supposedly it is pronounced THONE-ik but i think it goes more along the line of sgnawnaqnaajj but i'm not pronunciation specialist.

That's probably where this lovable character comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chthulhu
