I guess he's a pronktologist... but this video really shows the problems of using technical terms from your field of expertize in a public forum. He should have used the layman's term smurf instead. Much easier for all involved to understand.
I think Fry & Laurie first coined the word "pronk" on their show back around 1990. It was intended to be a new swear word, and thus I am surprised it made it past Onion S&P.
I find this HILLARIOUS just for the fact that I'm from "Virginia, 11th District". We don't say pronk or pronking though. Maybe if I say it enough it will catch on here.
It is my pronkly held belief that, as thomas jefferson said, "all pronks, living pronkfully within this land of pronk have the right and pronkful duty to express themselves with pronk, in whichever pronking manner such pronkibly pronks pronkfully pronkify them to pronk".
"It is my pronkly held belief that as Thomas Jefferson said: 'All pronks living pronkfully within this land of pronk, have the right and pronkful duty to express themselves with pronk, in whichever pronking manner such pronk pronkably pronks pronkfully pronkifies them to pronk LOL WTF???????XD

One of the greatest and most historic speeches ever made by Thomas Jefferson.
The Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary doesn't have it and I'm glad because it sounds pretty stupid. Why not use a more euphonic word to express yourself?
