Some people consider it a word to identify a person of great stupidity.
I on the other hand, think of it as a term of endearment for my husband. Most would tell you it refers to a female member of a religious order. My two year old would tell you it is what s left after she eats all the Goldfish and the box is empty. To nurse or not to nurse, that is a question every new mother faces. Unfortunately, while we are making our decision, we are also faced with pamphlets, books, doctors, leagues, groups, and friends trying to push us in one direction or another.
