someone already said it, but: post-prandial! i get so tickled when i'm doing something after dinner and then can use the word post-prandial in relation to it. i just wish it sounded as good out loud as it does in my head. |

I'm still not familiar with other chat abbreviations like "rofl" or "lmao". | |
