Hello /lit/. I got a gift card for Christmas, and after some hemming and hawing, I decided to get a copy of Finnegans Wake.

The book is a meme of course, and I was aware of this years ago, having checked out a copy from the library and thumbing through it as a kid, even finding where the word "quark" came from. But later, when a friend gave me a copy of a Marshall Mcluhan's book "War and Peace in the Global Village", I realized that there are a bunch of long, important words in the book (just like the one on the first page), which he (Mcluhan) called /thunderwords/. Then I got busy with other things until I got my own copy of the above recently.

Anyway, I found searching the subject to be kind of a pain in the ass, so I made you and me some DANK OC: an infographic on the thunderwords, or "thunders" - note also the similarity of the words "thunder" and "hundred".

I hope that someone will get a kick out of this. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ANY TYPOS!
