The word “burlap”.

Today’s word is “burlap”.  This word looks like someone just made up a pronounceable series of letters and then looked around to see what it might mean.  Perhaps it might mean the sound a ferret might make as it prepares to dine, or maybe that fuzz that seems to collect in the corners of sealed rooms.  But noooo, let’s called it the fabric used to make those funny looking sacks.  And while you’re at it filled ’em with pinto beans.
