28. There’s actually a more clinical term for hairball. The correct word is trichobezoar, which means “an indigestible ball made of hair in the gastrointestinal tract.” Weird!
So the scientific term is—no surprise here—a lot less fun than the simple “hairball.” It is pretty fun to say, though. Trichobezoar. Go ahead, say it out loud. You’ll have fun!
Odds are this won’t be catching on quite as much as the standard term, but it’s a fun fact to know, isn’t it?
