	Shout out to the @OED, our "What the Heck Is That?" topic, which stumped many of our solvers because of a devious clue by constructor Emily Carroll and the editors: "It ends with 'zyzzyva,' in brief." nytimes.com/2018/05/07/cro…

	Happy 92nd birthday to Sir David Attenborough! Quotations by and about Sir David pop up frequently in the OED; he is mentioned in our entries for NARRATE and NARRATION, and provides evidence for various nature words including RAINFOREST, NESTING-TIME, and OCEAN-WIDE. twitter.com/WildlifeTrusts…

	Odpověď uživateli @OED #TodayILearned that the song ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious‘ was the subject of a copyright infringement suit brought in 1965 against the makers of the film Mary Poppins by two songwriters who, in 1949, had released a song called ‘Supercalafajalistickespialadojus’.

	Odpověď uživateli @slightlybookist Thanks very much @slightlybookist! That would presumably be Arthur Ransome's reference to an elephant being ‘very hungry and hangry from having had no dinner’? We'll line this up to be added to our entry for ‘hangry’ at the earliest opportunity! #ongoingresearch
