Aron

Aron: verb. To attempt to iron an article of clothing, using something that isn't an iron. This word was created after two events, which occurred in 1897 and 1903. In 1897 a maid from Kensington attempted to use a steam-powered toothpaste dispenser as an iron, which is an understandable mistake, since the two objects were very similar in appearance; unfortunately the maid did not succeed in ironing the clothes and in fact suffered significant burns. In 1903 a man in Kigali successfully used fresh elephant excrement wrapped in linen to aron his clothes.
