I lied. It's not a song. But, I came across this splendiferous (80% sure that's a real word too.) word today, and I feel like it needs a post of its own.
Y'all ready for this?

Estivate (verb): To pass the summer in an inactive or resting state.
Yup. That's its only definition. Now, my question is, who thought this up? Who actually spent time creating a word to describe that phenomenon? Was it needed?
I'll leave you with these words of wisdom, brought to you by Lobster Magnet: "Right claw north! LEFT CLAW SOUTHHHHHH!"
