This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

I have a talent for knowing the shortest word with three 'u's in it.
Ahh!

Who am I kidding, of course I don't have that talent, I don't know the word, but I bet it's unusual.

Maybe Uluru, like the rock?

Not sure that proper nouns count here
Lugubrious?

Yeah, no proper nouns, you cheat!

Uhuru?
As in the wholefood shop in Oxford, Swahili greeting and possibly (I don't watch it) Star trek?

Again, proper nouns and foreign words are cheating, rather
should be a normal English word, I reckon.

Oh, and the Star Trek character is Uhura, but it was derived from Swahili Uhuru (= freedom)

uhuru
and even uburu would be acceptable in scrabble...

Funny you should suggest that, as I go past Uhuru every day.

Okay, I get the joke
but would you accept muumuu? It's shorter than "unusual", and though originating from Hawaiian has passed into common parlance, much like fajita or paella, miles per hour, faux pas, status quo, deja vu, or even the word "in".
(, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:03, closed)
It was an old joke my head of sixth form made many years back.
Before posting, I did look into it, and found muumuu, but I had always spelt that 'moomoo'.

edit: and also, I said the shortest word with three u's, not 4. Ha! A technicality still counts!
(, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:33, closed)
three or 'three and only three'
or are you one of those people when I ask if they have a pen, they say "No. I don't have a pen".
