It Pays to Enrich Your Word Power

Today's vocabulary word is a common word, something you find around work, school or maybe even around the house. I'll offer some clues, and let's see if you can unscramble today's word.

Clicking on the blue links will provide a premature answer - so save them till the end!

Microsoft Word tries to separate it into two words, or change it to sashay or ascot.

There is a web site devoted to one, with a picture of President Bush on the home page.

You can buy a t-shirt with one on the front...

...or buy a CD with a song title that is one.

A YouTube search will yield 46 results.

You can even do a news story search and find one.

You can find it in the Urban Dictionary...

...or read Carmen's blog, where it has common usage.

If you are still wondering what it is;

It could also be defined this way ...

Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn't want her to know he'd packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey. So he told security it was a bomb, officials said. Madin Azad Amin was stopped by officials on Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said. When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.
He later told officials he'd lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn't want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said. He's been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state's attorney's office. Amin faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
