3 letters in a word
This is more of a puzzle game than a puzzle, so if it's not appropriate in this forum I apologize.
The purpose of this game is to find a (real) word that contains a given sequence of three letters.
An (fallacious) example is:
yst
OMGTEHDAYSTARITBURNSSSSS
A few more examples are:
mpl
example
nce
balance
Rules:
1) Must be a real word (preferably from the English language, or a common loan word.) Must not be an abbreviation. Must not be a proper noun.
2) When a word is figured out, the person who figured it out must pose the next set.
3) You must have figured out for the next set of letters before you post. No random zzz posts.
4) Abuse of the rules is encouraged.

Hard one: this word isn't in all dictionaries, but you've almost definately heard it.

I want to have Bakemaster's babies. It's possible, with science.
I wonder if you can see...

And I was thinking l33tsp34k, but I suppose just sp34k works. It said rules abuse was encouraged!

I'm looking forward to the day when the SNES emulator on my computer works by emulating the elementary particles in an actual, physical box with Nintendo stamped on the side.

Also: ichthyology, eighth, knighthood, etc etc etc.
