CNN, once again the winner of the Best Ridiculous Verb contest

Current headline: “Man sklorks down 420 oysters in 10 mins.”

What’s your favorite onomatopoetic word? And could you ever use it in journalistic fashion with a straight face?

I'm wondering if they need to say "down." Does that imply that it's also possible to "sklork up" a bunch of oysters? And if so, what's the difference between sklorking up and sklorking down?

Do the two of you ever sit and actually talk to each other? I don't think sklork is really the sound for oyster eating. I'm thinking it needs to be a word that has to do with throwing up. I can't stand oysters!

Yes but we only talk about this blog.

P.S. Someone is drawing a new picture every day to interpret the crappy headlines at CNN.
