# Tmesis - yes! I heard about that in QI I think. The only word that starts with 'tm...'
The others are classy too, especially cat, but I've never heard of quiniela or peristalsis. *Researches*

# oh you'll know peristalsis
quiniela got me my highest ever Scrabble score for a single play - 212 points I think

pah - I knew what tmesis was before QI!

# I wrote a piece for two marimbas called Tmesis that nearly got performed all around the country.
That's my "interesting" story. Great word.

# Yes, you're right. Having looked it up, I do remember peristalsis from the school lessons of yesteryear.
Top work getting into a scrabble game, that's quite a trophy!
