I found a strange word in the dictionary, when I was looking something else up.

Have you ever heard of it? Can you define it?

At the end of today, I will leave the definition if no one knows or can guess correctly.

Then, someone can offer another word......

my word is hugger mugger

but I know it's not the real definition of the word.. that I can't remember though I know I've heard it. I just found it funny that it is the name of the board game.

and yes, nak

We actually own the board game Hugger-Mugger and really enjoy it. I'm not sure of the word's definition, but ds's all think it means secret.

I had never heard this word and two days after I posted Tim read it aloud from the book Master and Commander. The context made me think it meant "buddy buddy."

Without googling, I thought it meant secret or undercover. But I have no idea why or where I might have read it.
