Mechuggun

Mechuggun: noun. A mechuggun is a firing weapon used to target insane people or insane animals. During the relatively recent mad cow epidemic, mechugguns were used to shoot laughing gas at cows, making them seem even more insane than they already were. This expedited the process of getting compensation from the state, as some relief programmes involved distributing monetary 'refunds' proportionate to the perceived insanity of the cow. Entire committees dedicated to determining compensation were thus fooled, leading to the bankruptcy of several British villages.
