Gonfalon

[Tanya Shivari]

a word that can carry any number of meanings. As versatile as
the F word, and as all-encompassing as the widget. [Gonfalon] can be an
active verb meaning to have sex with, a passive verb meaning to nap, a
noun meaning a [crotchy] old man, or an adjective meaning big or
important. The original meaning of [gonfalon] is a poster or banner hung
from a wooden pole for use on display, such as used in Medieval Italy.
Therefore, perhaps the most appropriate usage of the word gonfalon is
when it describes throwing a [wooden stake] like a javelin, with the
intention of gonfaloning someone who causes you displeasure.

A banner or pennant, especially one with streamers, hung from a crossbar.
