It's the poetic meter of the word, its anapestic foot -- one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (/ - -) as in UN-a-bridged, ON-the-loose, and notably CHOO-choo-train, with all of that CHUG-chug-hrump! ALL-those-words! OUT-the-stack! IN-the-air! puffing like BLO-vi-ate!<BR/><BR/>Sean,<BR/><BR/>O'Reilly--right! I forgot! It's one of his signature words!
