It's Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 1st.
Today's word is Skurl spelled S-K-I-R-L.

Here's the word used in a sentence from the Boston Globe by Daniel Kool.
You always hear Ryan Randall before you see him, known among downtown office workers, tour guides,
and street vendors for his marathon bagpipe performances that cut through the city streets and up to office tower boardrooms.
Randall has become something of an icon downtown.
That afternoon, Randall scurrolled for a little more than an hour,
blaring a continuous stream of live music and pre-recorded accompaniment from a portable speaker.
Not many musical instruments are honored with their very own verb,
but then not many musical instruments emit a sound quite like that of a bagpipe.
Depending on your ear, you might think bagpipes give forth music,
or you might be more apt to say they shriek.
If you are of the latter opinion,
you're thinking aligns with the earliest sense of the word scurril,
meaning to shriek, used of screeching winds, wee bairns, and the like.
Scottish poet Robert Sempill used it for bagpipes in the mid-1600s.
