Here's a couple good ones, since I've been slackin'

slurp
verb
1. an intake of food or drink with a noisy sucking sound.
1640-50


lampoon
\lam-POON\, noun, verb:
1. a composition that imitates or misrepresents someone's style, usually in a humorous way
2. a light, good-humored satire

verb:
1. ridicule with satire

by 1645, from French lampon, of unknown origin, said by French etymologists to be from lampons "let us drink," popular refrain for scurrilous 17th century songs, from lamper "to drink, guzzle," a nasalized form of laper "to lap." The verb is first attested by 1657.

This was actually the word of the day at dictionary.com! Crazy!


teat
noun
1. the protuberance on the breast or udder in female mammals, except the monotremes, through which the milk ducts discharge; nipple or mammilla.
