   Gee, I hadn’t seen anybody use “smek” since Milt Gosses’ “Nize Baby” some 60 years ago. It’s a good desultory sound perfect for the administration of a light bitch-slap with the back of your hand across a face.

   Smeg is from the scientific term ‘smegma.’ Anyone else can look it up for themselves.

   Smek was used in Mad Magazine some time ago.

    I didn’t know that. Thank you. In colloquial terms it’s a vulgarity.

    This IS the stuff of nightmares. Closely related to clowns.
