My answer is:




SNORCIMO




Explaination:




The word sequence given contains in order the 12th (Mu), 13th (Nu), 14th (Xi), and 16th (Pi) letters of the Greek alphabet reversed with an added "S". The missing Greek letter in the order is the 15th letter of the alphabet (Omicron). Following the same naming convention gives you SNORCIMO:



Mu = SUM

Nu = SUN

Xi = SIX

Omicron = SNORCIMO

Pi = SIP

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
