Splorp.

From Wikipedia:

The term “slush fund” was originally a nautical term; the slush referred to the fat or grease that was obtained by boiling salted meat, the sale of which could then be used to provide the crew with special luxuries. The money obtained from this sale was placed into the so-called ’slush-fund’.

Trickeration.

A few days back, Caroline and I were discussing coffee’s deceitful nature. It smells amazingly rich and comforting, but tastes watery and burnt. I was trying to come up wih similar examples, but aside from cheddar Sun Chips (a reverse case–they smell awful but taste delicious) I am mostly drawing a blank. Can anyone help me out here?
