The word of the day

Ogle: Look at with amorous pretentions. Example: Go ogle.

A respondent in a UDRP case (NAF 726096) contended that she intended "to use googlematching.com and googleoutdoors.com, ... in conjunction with her dating service, as the terms "Go Ogle Matching" and "Go Ogle Outdoors," respectively, where the word "ogle" commonly means "to glance amorously." (Later, she added that she "took three common names out of the dictionary and put them together and coincidentally they happen to spell GOOGLE in them, which is also a common word in the dictionary.").
