I meant the William S Burroughs definition, ala naked Lunch, but it appears the word has all kinds of other meanings.

I know this is very sophomoric, but I can' t resist...
Joke from around 6th or 7th grade (circa early 70's):
The word of the day is legs.
Help spread the word.
Obviously it was a guy joke.

I'll have to admit that the "legs" bit was the first thing to cross my mind but I'm glad you said it and not me. As of late one term that keeps popping into my little brain is, "insipid". I like the sound of it too.

--------- New WotD ---------
Involute
Clarification: I started WotD for my girlfriend when I was traveling last year, to stay close and help expand both our vocabularies.
Don't think that this is exclusive. Y'all post your own words. We can all learn something, and it should be entertaining.

Misogyne: hatred of women.
Greek philosophers considered misogyny to be caused by gynophobia , a fear of women.

Allochthonous, my crappy little dictionary doesn't have that one.
So, if misogyne is hatred of women, what is the word for hatred of men?
