gobstopper

Actually got a good word-of-the-day from the OED. Normally it's pretty crap.

infix, v.
1. To fix or fasten (one thing) in (another); to implant or insert firmly. To affix. To fix or fasten on something.
2. To fix (a fact, etc.) in the mind or memory, so as to cause a deep impression; to impress.
3. To insert (a formative element) in the body of a word.

Particularly like the second definition.
