This Sketch introduced a new word into the english language

[bigtombowski]

After this 1979 sketch - a CLASSIC piece of british humour ... a new word was introduced into the OED (oxford english dictionary) ... see if u can guess what the word is!?!

Lets just say, it's still taught in taxonomy classes in Uni (i did biology) hehe!

please please ENJOY
