The Queen of the Morn's naughty-sounding word for Friday, April 22nd, comes from Old English, and is used frequently in the sports shoe trade.

Do you have a nomination for a rude-but-innocent word? Send it to jgerber@ideastream.org.  If I use your word on the air, I will send you an item from the recently reorganized WCLV Prize Closet!
