Now, who thinks of crime, and who thinks of some kinda vegetable, when you read that word?

ca·per2  Pronunciation Key (kāpər)
n.

  1. A usually spiny Mediterranean shrub (Capparis spinosa) having white to pale lilac flowers and dehiscent fruits with reddish pulp.
  2. A pickled flower bud of this plant, used as a pungent condiment in sauces, relishes, and various other dishes.

Anyone else know any completely pointless words that also mean more common ones?

(And yep, incidentally, I do have CharMap. :3 )
