I've got no beef with this word today. In fact, I quite liked it. "Eructation" is defined as "the act of belching; a belch."
I think this word is kind of fun and it helps to class up something I do every day. Something--dare I say it?--that I am very good at.
One of the sentences used as an example comes from John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces, which I think my sister is still trying to finish after about six years of trying.
Way to go, Dictionary.com! I have nothing to bitch about. For once, the Word of the Day e-mail gave me a word that I will actually endeavor to use more. Its just a shame it has to do with burping.
