 | This page in a nutshell: WIDGET is so heinous it must never be used on Wikipedia. That's WIDGET: W — I — D — G — E — T |
Although widget means "slightly odd person who writes well sourced information for free" in East Elbonia, and in South Elbonia it means the mildly insulting "dog with a really bad case of mange," in West Elbonia it translates roughly as "pus from a zit on that part of your anatomy," and is considered highly offensive (widget, that is, not "anatomy," that's just a word).
