Learned a new word today: afflatus. I thought it sounded like a word for fart, and turns out I was right. It means "divine brain fart that creates the right stink at the right time."

Not even kidding really. The etymology seems related to flatulence.".. flatus (blowing/breathing), the noun form of flāre (to blow). It can be taken to mean "to be blown upon" by a divine wind,"

One of my all-time favorite words. Criminally underused. Brilliant definition, by the way!
