The naughty-sounding word for Friday, July 19, is well known to runners. It's Swedish.

Do YOU have a nomination for a rude-sounding word that isn't naughty at all? Send it to "queenofthemorn@gmail.com."  By mail, send it to "The Naughty Etymologist, WCLV, 1372 Euclid, Cleveland, OH, 44115."

If I use your item on the air, I'll send you an item from the WCLV Prize Closet.
