Punchkin

Punchkin: noun. There are several possible definitions for the word punchkin. The most popular ones are the following:
1. The act of punching a relative.
2. A splattered pumpkin.
3. A violent munchkin.
There is even a festival in Riga called the Punchkinfest, which comes to a climax when people take out their hammers (some even bring sledgehammers) and start liquidating the pumpkins of the opposing team. Needless to say, many foreign observes have commented that this festival not only leads to the second definition listed above, but also quite frequently to the first and sometimes even to the third (munchkins get very angry when someone splatters their pumpkin house).
