Rhombitruncated Icosidodecahedron
It's OK if you don't get what this is doing in my blog. Let's just say it's an enduring fascination of mine to do with 30 regular square faces, 20 regular hexagonal faces, 12 regular decagonal faces, 120 vertices, 180 edges, two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. At least the first part of that.
Thanks, Roxie - that, at least, has stuck all these years!

You are my hero!
But, I always thought it was one word:
Rhombitruncatedicosidodechahedron?

I've seen it written as one word, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be two, as it is an icosidodecahedron that has been rhombitruncated.
I find this a little disappointing. When I was in school, I remember seeing it written as one word, and was overjoyed to discover a word longer than 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.

Yes - it's two separate words, for exactly the reason you named - the already-complex solid shape has had each of its corners cut off (truncated) so as to form a rhombus each time, making the shape that much more wonderful!
