Pronunciation: /fahrt-tik-yuh-leyt/

Sentence: Since his retirement, on most days, Walter would just sit on the porch in his rocking chair, smoke cigars and farticulate, saying things like, "Maybe only half of them A-rabs are terrorists, but so what? Just bomb the whole lot of 'em, is what I says, and let God sort 'em out." He was obviously suffering from farteriosclerosis.
