Here's the skinny, at last.

fun-i-cle, v.t. to funnel something (as a fluid) through a hollow-stemmed icicle, esp. hot grog on really dead-end ski trips, as a : "Drink that funicle before it melts, big guy," or,   b : "Hey, suck up that groggicle, would you, Susanna, and let's get out on the slopes?"

fun-i-cle, n. congealment into a social chill after having a high old time, as "We were partying out of our minds when Susanna laid a fart and cleared not only the room, but the house. It was ten below zero outside. Wotta funicle! Needless to say, the party broke up early."

~~~~~ No, no, no, just kidding. ~~~~~

But wait, seriously now. The fun is just getting started. No hoax, really. Because Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary gives:

fun-i-cu-lus, n. (NL, fr L, dim. of funis rope) 1 : a bodily structure suggesting a cord: as a : a bundle of nerve fibers   b : SPERMATIC CORD   2 : the stalk of a plant ovule

Well, it's easy to see how THAT applies.

Susanna, having found that she's a man (and a funicle man at that), discovers to her horror that she now has, among other novelties, a spermatic cord, which much resembles the stalk of a plant ovule.

Never in her career as a young woman has she ever had, or wished to have (Freud to the contrary notwithstanding) any such thing. But now that she's a man, she's stuck with it.

So, naturally enough, Susanna's a bundle of nerves.

Susanna's a bundle of nerves,
(Snort) -erves (fart) -erves (whistle) -erves diddle derves---
Susanna's a bundle of nerves.

Wouldn't you be?
