Word of the week - A thick post on a ship or a wharf.

Bollard

Dictionary.com/bollard: "A thick post on a ship or wharf"

Although I'm plugging for a new meaning, and I need your help on this, use the word as often as possible and eventually it will enter the common vernacular.

When to use it:

1. A car cuts you off & nearly drives you & your family off the road. You stop, wind down the window & yell at the offending miscreant, "You fucking BOLLARD!"

2. Well you get the idea. Have at it.

NB: Leave no comments telling me the good doctor is only doing what he can for the benefit of the nation. I don't care. He's a bollard.
