The Langtolang word of the day is octopus. The French and German words were the most interesting:
"octopus Turkish: ahtapot German: Krake French: pieuvre Italian: polpo Spanish: pulpo "

Jazzahtapot Jazzkrake Jazzpieuvre Jazzpolpo Jazzpulpo Why am I not surprised that someone was going to derive this? Ahtapot sounds like a 2 year old trying to pronounce octopus . . .
