Well, I missed last week's but the word
'hornswoggled' immediately came to mind, followed by 'flibbertigibbet."

I'm glad some were lost...but I do remember my mom using the expression, "stinking like a pole-cat" (but I suspect we might be talking about entirely different pussies!) ;)

How big can a bulls dick be? And do they tan it to leather before they beat someone with it?
