[RESOLVED] Funny Obscure Noun...

Okay, I'm making a Flash which has a part that needs some funny obscure noun.

I have two so far, and need two more. The two I have are tittle (the dot on an "i") and aglet (the tip of a shoelace).

Rules:

1.) It has to be tangible (I need to be able to draw it).

2.) It has to be on m-w.com (online dictionary).

3.) It cannot be obscene.

4.) I'd prefer if it is not TOO long, maybe ten letters at most.

5.) It should have at least both of the following factors: funny pronunciation and funny definition.

Oh, and please don't hide it in this HUGE paragraph. Just give it its own paragraph, and, if you want, put another paragraph of a description/definition et cetera.

Please reply!

Is that all everyone can think of? Hosel? Come on. You guys can be more creative than that.

^ But apparently you cant.

exactly.

Hey, calm down. I thought of two, which I hope won't be better than what you can think of, for long...

(What I mean by that is: I hope that somebody can think of something more than I could.)

I'm bored...

buttress • \BUTT-russ\ • noun
1 : a projecting structure of masonry or wood for supporting or giving stability to a wall or building
2 : something that resembles a buttress
*3 : something that supports or strengthens
Example Sentence:
This is a good essay, but it needs a few more facts as a buttress to the conclusions.
Did you know?
A buttress is an exterior support projecting from a wall that is used to resist the sideways force, also called thrust, created by the load on an arch or roof. Its name was first adopted into English as "butres" in the 14th century. It came to us from the Anglo-French "(arche) boteraz," meaning "thrusting (arch)," and ultimately derives from the verb "buter," "to thrust." "Buter" is also the source of our verb "butt," meaning "to thrust, push, or strike with the head or horns." Relatively soon, "buttress" came to be used figuratively for anything that supports or strengthens something else. In addition, it was also in the 14th century that "buttress" was first used as a verb meaning "to support or strengthen," literally and figuratively.

you're looking at the wrong dictionary. All of those things exist and are real words :mrt:
