Lingudeath

Lingudeath: noun. This word is used to explain two different forms of quietus.


  1. The death of a linguist under very specific conditions. These conditions include: the linguist must be in Liberia, he must speak 5 languages no more, no less, and one of them must be Aramaic. There are only two recorded cases of this type of lingudeath and they are both of the same person. Tevfik Esenç was a Turkish linguist who died a lingudeath twice and then finally passed away in Turkey.
  2. Death by choking on linguini. In 1848 this was the most common cause of death in Italy, which is particularly interesting since the Revolutions of Italian States occurred in that year.
