Thanks, a new word I've never come across before.

Usually when this happens I have to prevent myself inventing strategies for inserting my shiny new word into conversational intercourse.

It's so annoying when someone learns a new word and thrusts it into every even moderately viable opening.

LOL - thanks. I just learned a shiny new word for today. How is it pronounced?

hey hoss, they's the irrumation nation.

It appears I am the fifth person to look up the word before looking for comments. For the lazy, here it is.

clearly he is not a cunning linguist.

I imagine it best to avoid pushing this particular $10 word into conversations willy-nilly.

Does it rhyme with "ratio" or "pistachio"?

Latin word, famously used by Catullus - it refers to the action of the second partner in the act to which the much more famous fe###tio refers. The classical pronunciation would be ihr-ruh-mah-tea-oh. See J. N. Adams, *The Latin Sexual Vocabulary*, for details.

Absolutely. That would just obtund them. Gotta preserve them for the right occasion!

You can bet you'll hear that word coming out of my mouth soon. It just rolls off (and on [and off {and on}]) the tongue, doesn't it?

I'm going to thrust this luscious new word in between the thighs of every man I encounter today.

Well played, Rob! I had to look up the word (like most of the respondents), but that just made your one-liner all the more clever.

Wow, a SINGLE word in a SINGLE sentence pushes off the focus of said article's main topic!

It would make sense to rhyme with fellatio.
