A typo on top of a ripped-off Greek word.  Sorry.

     bdelygma  [See: http://img.youtube.com/vi/BnGMkiG_5FQ/default.jpg]

Google will give you many more.

It's the word that James I's biblical translators translated as
"abomination", as in:

    Gospel of  St. Mark 13:14 

    But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
    by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that
    readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the
    mountains...   

    Daniel 9:27 ...and for the overspreading of abominations he shall
    make it desolate...

inter alia in the KJV.  The theology isn't relevant here but the word
is a pretty good choice.  And only fair turnabout as the folks who
later became the Bdelygma's "base" were bandying about allusions to
"Obamanation" a few years back.
