Stough

Stough: noun. This word sure looks like it should be a word, doesn´t it? Well in fact it is a word and its definitions, according to Webster´s Dictionary of Unnecessary Words are the following:
1. Dough inside a stove.
2. Dough outside a stove.
3. Stowed away dough.
4. Not stowed away dough.
5. A stove in a trough.
6. A stove not in a trough.
7. A stove in dough.
8. A stove not in dough.
The outdated word also used to be an adjective in some contexts, but its pronunciation wasn´t the same. While a stough is pronounced in a way that makes it rhyme with "slow," the adjective stough ends in the same sound as the word tough. In its adjectival form, stough usually pertains to something that is durable while sticky and runny. It can also denote a person who is sticky and runny, for example a running stickman.
