Word of the Week

One would think living in Alaska, I would have known this word before today. It is our state bird after all.

The word:

GALLINIPPER

\ˈga-lə-ˌni-pər\

function:
noun

1. a large mosquito (or any various insect such as a crane fly)

The gallinippers have returned with the warmer weather.
