This is the noise made by a live, swamp-
dwelling mattress that is deeply moved by a story of personal
tragedy. The word can also, according to The Ultra-Complete
Maximegalon
Dictionary of Every Language Ever, mean the noise
made by the Lord
High Sanvalvwag of Hollop on discovering that he
has forgotten his wife's birthday for the second year running.
Since there was only ever one Lord High Sanvalvwag of Hollop, and
he never married, the word is only ever used in a negative or
speculative sense, and there is an ever-increasing body of
opinion which holds that The Ultra-Complete Maximegalon
Dictionary is not worth the fleet of lorries it takes to cart its
microstored edition around in. Strangely enough, the
dictionary
omits the word "floopily", which simply means "in the manner of
something which is floopy".
