Word of the Day: Hambone

Though not particularly interesting, the word came to my mind twice today. First when recalling a Jack Handey quote:

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins most? I’d say Flippy, wouldn’t you? You’d be wrong though. It’s Hambone.

Second, the word is used to describe the kind of dancing that Worf did in Hee-Haw: The Next Generation.

Hambone, n., a style of dance that involves stomping as well as slapping and patting the arms, legs, chest, and cheeks.
