Genuflect and Lactoburst

Last Friday, when I went to my weekly game night. I've learned 2 new words :D

Genuflect and Lactoburst

One is a real word, while another is made up (I think :p)

Genuflect
gen‧u‧flect  [jen-yoo-flekt]
1. to bend the knee or touch one knee to the floor in reverence or worship.
2. to express a servile attitude.
[Origin: 1620–30; < ML genūflectere to bend the knee, equiv. to L genū-, s. of genu 'knee' + flectere 'to bend']

Commonly used to show superiority over other people. During game night, some of our players used the word when they did something awesome. No more "ownage" or "pwned"; its now "Genuflect!" which literally can mean "bow down and worship me, you noob!".


Lactoburst
This one came from the spur of the moment from one of our players.

Our DM was explaining a situation to a player; "....and there are some leftovers from....", when another player burst out "What!? Lactoburst?"
Everyone burst out laughing...HARD.

To understand the meaning of this word, lets search thru the dictionary for some guidelines.
We can find the word is formed with 'Lacto' and 'burst'

lacto- or lact-
pref.
1. Milk: lactoprotein.

Hmmm...from the definitions from the two words "lacto"+"burst", we can get "lactoburst" as:
A sudden explosion or outburst of milk?
but still, its a cool word :p
hmmm...I wonder where I can use this word >:D
