Make fun of shimraa thread and other stuff we can think of!
Time
second one. Always liked how the word had a chain of four vowels in a row.

Back in second or third grade, my teacher (young girl at the time) told us that there is no word in the English language that had three or more vowels in a row. Me and this other guy in class started listing about a half dozen words. Unfortunately, we didn't know the word onomatopoeia. If we did, it would have done even more to blow her theory out of the water. My personal fave at the time was "beauteous" which has two strings of three vowels. She just stood there with her jaw practically hanging open. Funny stuff.
