My boss sent me an email this morning that read, What does "skullduggery" mean?
And I sent back, Dastardly deeds. Trickery. . .
And then I thought I might as well at least check that against m-w.com, since I've only ever used that word in a joking, pirate-y context and could be completely wrong. And what does my old friend Merriam Webster have to say about it?

omg, that is exactly what I said! Boo-yeah (a duck).
Yeah, I'm more excited about that than I should be, so what? Just be happy this isn't another entry about my legs (hurting again today, some more).
