'Facetious' is one of two words in English that have each of the 5 vowels, in order. If you prefer to think of y as a vowel, you may use 'facetiously'.

This has nothing to do with the thread, but who really wants to get into the "FED isn't real baseball" nonsense?
Only 2? Off the top of my head I can think of abstemious and arsenious. I'm sure there are "industry specific" or scientific words that fit this description as well.
