A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme featuring “Rhonchisonant,” an adjective meaning “producing a snorting, snuffling, or snore-like sound.” On the right, a black-and-white Victorian-style pen-and-ink illustration depicts a balding, mustachioed gentleman sleeping while sitting up in the seat of a passenger train.
