last week's word winner:

interlard

i was actually rooting for interlard. it sounds squishy or like a centralized marketplace for the exchange and manipulation of animal fats. which i admit is an uncomfortable thought, even for an omnivore like myself but it still sounds like fun although still somewhat gross. that is, gross in a double dare kind of way not a fear factor kind of way.
