I venture to suggest Mush, abbreviated to Mh.

MAMMON, n. The god of the world's leading religion. The chief temple is in the holy city of New York.

RATTLESNAKE, n. Our prostrate brother, "Homo ventrambulans".

Bigamy, n. A mistake in taste for which the wisdom of the future will adjudge a punishment called trigamy.

The place whereon the priest formerly raveled out the small intestine of the sacrificial victim for purposes of divination and cooked its flesh for the gods. The word is now seldom used, except with reference to the sacrifice of their liberty and peace by a male and a female fool.
