Word of the day - Gubernatorial
'Gubernatorial'
I came across this word many times whilst reading the first volume of Bill Clinton's autobiography. I came across it again today in reference to the experience of Sarah Palin, John McCain's presidential running mate.
Definition: "Of or pertaining to a state governor or the office of state governor."
I don't know - it just sounds weird.
Any other votes for weird-sounding words?

That's a good one for scrabble though.
Nope, nothing comes to mind.
My new game: using words incorrectly in an attempt to fool others into accepting a false meaning.
e.g. Wow - that guy's so drunk, he's almost gubernatorial.
"Your baby is in what we gynocologists call the gubernatorial stage..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, you'll be happy to know that we have just crossed the Pacific Ocean's gubernatorial line."
"Gubernatorial hemlines will be the next big thing at the 2009 Paris fashion week."
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. We simply can't operate. The tumour on your back... it's gubernatorial."
