Today's new word learned is "apocrine". Interestingly, I learned of it when reading an article in the Washington Post about a reporter who, as an (ill advised) thought experiment attempted to argue Akin's side of the his recent dumb-fuckery. But when I looked it up, I found that it was used poetically, if improperly. It was meant to convey a sweaty mess, but sweat glands are not apocrine glands except in name only for historical purposes.
The story.
The definition.
