You've got crud on your soptx

Come one, come all to the events of the First Occasional Word Verification Contest! That's right, everyone: I can't think of what to write about, so instead, I'm calling a contest to see who can get the best word in the blogger word verification and/or give the best definition. It's like the Olympics, but stupid.

The rules:
Go to the comments and find a word in the word verification that sounds like something. Refresh as many times as you need to get a good word. It could sound like some foreign food, a disorder of some kind, but obviously it's best if it sounds dirty. Fairness tells me to only let people enter once, but my desire for entertainment outweighs that, so enter as many times as you like.

You can either post only the word, or post the word and give a fake definition to it. A winner will be selected for both word and definition. The prizes are my grudging respect and half-hearted admiration, respectively. Just imagine if you win both! The winners will be announced Monday. I'm the judge of the contest. Sleeping with the judge dramatically improves your chances of winning.

Participation in the contest is NOT optional! Sleeping with the judge, sadly, is.
