Word of the Day - from our friend the Macquarie Dictionary

Spile: n. 1. a peg or plug of wood, esp. one used as a spigot. 2. US. a spout for conducting sap from the sugar maple.

Context:

Humphrey: "Just think of the money we could save. If I put this spile into your abdomen we will be able to harvest enough tallow to make soap for a year!"

or

Charlotte: "Humphrey, put a spile in it before I do it for you."
