Weird word of the week

I was just browsing google trends when I came across the word Nephelococcygia.

Weird word...anyway since I am about to leave for some R&R I thought I would share it's meaning before I left.

The word nephelococcygia comes from Aristophanes' play "The Birds". It is Greek for "Cloud Cuckoo Land," the Utopian city in the clouds that the main character persuades all the birds in the world to build.

There you go..a fun, off the wall experience. Ties in with mid week as well since most of us would rather be cloud gazing. :)

Have a great day!
