It's not far off what I thought.
I think I'll start using it since both the sound and the definition suit one of tha people I work with.

near as I can tell, this uptick was caused by a new entry in the urban dictionary which is probably closer to what you thought it might mean. 
happily, it is being voted down.

it is being voted down. So, the urban dictionary is one of those wiki things? (She said, having no memory of ever looking at the thing.)

Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I know you don't like to take links provided; but, really, that one was harmless and (I think) helpful.

At the conclusion of each episode of The Factor, O'Reilly ends the show by reminding the viewers to visit his two websites, and then requesting that they "opine" and are sure to include their "name and town, name and town, name and town". His final words are always marked by telling his viewers that if "they wish to opine, then please do not be a (colorful descriptive noun)".
Some of these nouns include "popinjay", "jackanapes", "blatherskite", "scaramouch", and "clinchpoop." He occassionally will spring a new word on the viewers, and such an action often results in a barrage of e-mails commenting on his new "word". - Wikipedia so I've had a whole mess of stump-jumpin' rednecks visiting.
