rhythm and syzygy

Hmmm... seems there are only two ordinary words in English that have no vowels and are longer than 5 letters... ignoring plurals.

I found this by searching a thesaurus with the simple regular expression:
\<[b-df-hj-np-tv-z]\{6,\}\>

Read it as:
    \< \> surrounding all or part of the expression indicates a word. That is, it won't match parts of words.
    [ ] surrounds a list of letters to be matched
    look for consonants only b-d, f-h, j-n, p-t, v-z (the '-' means 'to', as in 'letters j to n')
    \{6,\} minimum of 6 letters; maximum number unspecified
    \ the backslash prevents the next character having a different meaning.

GUIs are nice, but command lines rock.
