Slurprise:
noun. The thing that happens when one slurps down a drink, but despite all efforts, the water level rises instead of decreasing. This word could likewise describe the surprise this casues. The word
slurprise itself was first used in a quite different context and with a quite different meaning by the infamous composer Gustav Mahler, who claimed that prising a slur out of his orchestra, which he incorrectly jumbled up into
slurprising, is harder than stoning a heretic with bananas, both of which he had previously attempted.
