Gnuisance

Gnuisance: noun. Someone or something annoying in the manner of gnus. A gnuisance makes annoying grunting sounds, smells, kicks, headbutts others, or has a silent g. Much talk has been dedicated to how to pronounce the word gnuisance. After some ten years, the Movement for the Rationalisation of the English Language decided that the word should be pronounced with a silent g, as that was deemed to be hilariously self-referential. The movement then briefly renamed itself to the Moovment for the Rash-n-lihzeyshun of thee Inglish Langwidge, but readopted its former name once it sobered up in the morning.
