The word of the day is clown, though not in the context in which you're probably familiar. Now clown has been extended to become a unit of measure. Hooray for new units of measure!

  1. A coarse, rude, vulgar person; a boor.

  2. A peasant; a rustic

  3. Unit of Measure A collection of two or more goons. (eg. Last week I was hanging out with a clown of goons.)
