orangu-dookie

noun. Do I have to draw you people a map?

Real citation: "Knott analyzes fertility through estrogen and progesterone levels, and weight gain or loss through ketone measurements. DNA is extracted from the orangu-dookie, and stress levels can be measured by cortisol in the urine."

Made-up citation: "While 'orangu-dookie' would make a good band name, I must confess I was hoping to name our firstborn 'Elizabeth' or 'Carson.'"
