it always makes me think of a well-dressed vampire trying to keep his cool on a beach in the Hamptons, and I have really no idea what it means.

It's not the cuff that wraps around your arm but is the actual measuring device of a blood pressure cuff...I've just always liked to say it but it makes no sense to me at all.

Hi SS
Baccarat was actually one of the favourite games of James Bond. It is like "pontoon" or "Vingt et Un" except that the maximum score is nine ("neuf a la Banque")
All cards 1 to 9 are worth face value. 10 and royalty are worth zero. Closest to 9 wins.
My own word is " Gruntfuttock ", but there again it would be, wouldn't it?

My favorite stupid word: barfly.
Makes perfect sense when spoken, but ALWAYS looks like an adverb describing vomit in print.
