1word1dayVug [vuhg]:
origin: [1810] Cornish; vooga= cave.
noun (adjective, vuggy or vughy) ☚ I swear!
Shut up, pretend it's Tuesday.
No, that's not what the word means, but you could argue this entry fills the vug of Tuesday. A vug (also spelled vugh or vugg = blame miners from Cornwall) is a small to medium-sized hollow inside a rock, geode, cave, or vein -- usually lined with sparkly mineral crystals. Technically, it's a hole, but a very pretty one.
The hole in this geode is a vug.
