Wednesday - CLEEK

Her downfall had been the lie, but it had started so innocently. Sports hadn’t even been part of the conversation, but then Bezos dropped the word cleek into one of his sentences and Oliv correctly reacted to the reference. A cleek was a golf club with an iron head, a narrow face, and little slope. She knew that not because she was a golfer but because it had been a word on Jeopardy a few years ago, back when she was in high school. Her and her friend Renee had crushes on Alex Trebek, and the way he said cleek almost made them swoon. They had added the word to their lexicon, taking great delight in creating dirty limericks with the word cleek liberally sprinkled.
