As a small child, I remember thinking that the definition for the word bogus was an elephant's wrinkled knee. I got in a very heated discussion over that with a babysitter. In hindsight, I can't believe she got that angry with a toddler over something like that...

Word of the Day: Bogus

"Bogus" is actually portmanteau of the imperative verb,
"bog" (which means "God" in Russian) & the word, "us".
I've no idea when anyone would ever use such a word.
