yupik word of the day--nenglirrpaa

nenglirrpaa (neng-LLIGG'-baa): how cold it is!

Nenglirrpaa! Does the wind here ever stop blowing?

NOTES:
'nenglirrpaa' is a term that's used to convey utter coldness from an environmental/weather standpoint. the word is usually used all by itself.

when you walk into a room, and say 'nenglirrpaa,' make sure you....
(guys): bring your hands together and warm them.
(gals): pull your shoulders up and shake them a little. nenglirrpaa.
