(if in a public place, you might consider demonstating the versatility of your vocabulary by saying, "Sorry, but i feel the need to pandiculate.") ORIGIN Latin pandiculatus from pandiculari 'to stretch oneself,' from pandere 'to stretch'. Not to be confused with oscitate (plain old yawning); although, unless confined to a small space, most people pandiculate when they oscitate.
