Definition
The rumbling, gurgling sound made by the movement of gas through the intestines; a stomach growl.
Etymology
From Greek 'borborygmos,' an onomatopoeia imitating the sound of a grumbling stomach. Even ancient Greek doctors needed a dignified word for tummy rumbles.
Kelly Says
Your stomach growling in a quiet room has a MEDICAL name and it sounds just as embarrassing as the noise itself! Bor-bor-RIG-mus! Even ancient Greek doctors giggled writing this one! 😂🎵
