Yo, lemme suck on them pretty toes

Today, I learned that there is a term for the bird goo that remains when a bird and an aircraft collide, and it's someone's job to analyze said goo to determine what kind of bird it was as part of the effort to prevent/avoid bird strikes (they are expensive and potentially very dangerous). The bird remains are termed snarge.

Now go play Scrabble/Words With Friends (just not on the runway) and impress everyone with your new word.
