I love the word Feral. As applied to bad behavior, particularly in young children. It just paints the perfect picture for me of kids running wild like little animals.

Remember the "feral kid" (a character in one of the Mad Max movies)?
He'd probably never been taught to read or write... but he could wield a boomerang.

I love the word onomatopoeia. It has a lovely flow to it. I think I spelled that wrong lol.

Your word reminded me of my word.. Matapedia... the name of a river, a town and a song. I'm thinking that your word kind of caused me to do what your word means. Cool.
