Merriam-Webster

epenthesis \ih-PEN-thuh-siss\ noun :

the insertion or development of a sound or letter in the body of a word (as in ath-a-lete)

Everyday, I get a word-of-the-day from Merriam-Webster. And, I thought of the phrase "mada-fucking-gascar" when I read today's word (see above). Does this count?

  • not sure if this is an actual example or what, but on the show "boston legal" (or it could be "boston public", "boston red sox" or "boston baked beans" - it's the show that comes on after "desperate housewives") there was a court case pertaining to a cross dressing department store santa and the judge kept referring to him as a "ho. mo. sexual" and james spader kept telling him that it was only one word and late he made some comment about the guy being "neither a ho, mo, nor sexual" - hi-larious
