An uncontrollable urge of laughter.

On rare but great occasions, it's fallowed by tears and a fulfilling pain in the chest that through time spreads throughout the body and gives the impression of possible death.

Regardless of it's origin being from the assimilation of the "pavo" (turkey in spanish) sound and that of laughter, the word's meaning has evolved through generations as the climax of laughter.

Translation (English): Ah man, am laughing so much!

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
