I'm going to make a list of English words-with-all-the-vowels - since we haven't found the English term for them yet, which of panvocálica/pentavocálica (or something else) do you think I should use for its title - and are they plural terms? (I know almost no Spanish!)

Welcome, I'm enjoying expanding my somewhat limited spanish vocabulary and I enjoy seeing what cool words there are in other languages, and as it is the only foreign language I can speak, you're making that easy!

frangarnes commented on the word coprophagia
I've to say that:
1. It wasn't a embedded video but a html link.
2. I erased the link even earlier I read John's reply (a few minutes after posting).
3. I don't like coprophagia or similar filthy things and I don't support them.
4. Posting such disgusting link was a mistake and I take the blame for it.
5. If you watched that video (I couldn't), I hope you didn't vomit your keyboard.

frangarnes commented on the word murcielago
Is there a name in English to call the words like 'murcielago' (the 5 vowels in the same word without repeating them)? The Spanish word for this is panvocálica or pentavocálica

frangarnes commented on the word coprophagia
Ok John, I'm sorry. I agree: it's better NOT to illustrate this word!
I was watching at Youtube some videos about the reaction of people who saw this video, and then my curiosity did the rest...

frangarnes commented on the word pantomima
Yes, there are:
- mimo (noun) is the word for the person who mimes (a mime). It's the same for men and women; the word mima doesn't exist in Spanish.
- mímica-mímico is like mimic in English.
- mimetizar (verb) is the translation for 'to mime' (the verb). The word imitar has a similar meaning to mimetizar.
- mimar isn't very related to the others words. Mimar (verb) means several things in English: 'to spoil', 'to fuss over' or 'to flatter'.

frangarnes commented on the word coprophagia
Accidentally, I've just seen a horrifying coprophagia video (edited), and I couldn't watch that shocking scene for more than 30 secs...
I can't believe it, but there are some people who really enjoy paraphilias like coprophagia or golden rain. That's too much dirty sex for me!

I didn't know this word. I like it. We (Spanish speakers) haven't a word with a similar meaning, so we have to use idioms to express the same that ogle.

The word Nintendo is an amalgamation of 3 symbols: NIN, meaning "leave to"; TEN, for "heaven"; and DŌ, "company". That translates to "the company that leaves to heaven" or more poetically, "take care of every detail, and heaven will take care of the rest".
