Word of the Day

Galumph
\guh-LUHM(P)F\ , intransitive verb:


1. To move in a clumsy manner or with a heavy tread.

"To prance about in a self-satisfied manner," 1872, coined by Lewis Carroll in "Jabberwocky," apparently by blending gallop and triumph.

"North Egg likes to galumph toward Far Egg's cube, so he knows she's coming."
