It's a mnemonic for the tones in "seculorum Amen" (which makes it a fake word in my book, since it was created by the vowels in that phrase). It's also (supposedly) the word with the longest string of vowels. But if you disregard it because it's not in your copy of the dictionary, you can go with "queueing" for 5 consecutive vowels. That should make Evil Bunny happy. Euouae is the longest English word consisting only of vowels.

Even less common (I believe) is the ability to write backwards and upside down at the same time, so that your writing can be read normally by someone across the table from you.

Mine may be a bit more elaborate, what with the leather cover and all the sequins, and the occasional lock of hair, or fingernail, and all that, but really, I can't be the only one to have one!
