nasal-ingressive voiceless velar trill

Linguistics joke. There's a fake IPA symbol to go with it, that looks like a pig snout.

It's linguistically correct description of, well, the sound pigs make.

First-year linguistics students can be humiliated by asking them to include nasal-ingressive voiceless velar trill in their presentation of rare and difficult-to-pronounce sounds in the West African languages.
