corn: grain, maize
DAE: Does Anybody Else?
pi: P 3.14..
butt: short for buttocks
o-: extra syllable to facilitate pronunciation
Pamplonika: woman from Pamplona, Spain
So, cornadaepibuttopamplonika is a query from Pamplonan women, asking if others have found that eating corn gives a perfectly round butt. |

cornada : goring in Spanish ;
epi: a prefix ocurring in loan words from Greek meaning "on" "near" ;
butt: short form of "buttocks";
pamplonika : A woman from Pamplona
So this Word just means a local woman (born in Pamplona) who decided to go to "Los San Fermines " (Spanish festival taking place in Pamplona where bulls run after people who try not to be hit by them )and got a goring near her buttocks .
Oh dear !!!

Quick reponse: as far as I know the word cornadaepibuttopamplonika does not exist. Yesterday was April Fool �s so I thought I would have alittle bit of fun. 
I loved all three of your responses, but Florimago was closest to the logic I used when building the word--so congratulations Florimago you ar ethe new winner of the WOD!
Cheers,
