Pronunciation: vur - jen - a - tor

Sentence: Dad had a secret weapon “Butch” (aka the “vurgenator”). Once my sisters and I started to notice boys, dad handily rescued him from the local pound. Dad knew just the right moment to launch him into any room of the house before things got too romantic. Butch would stand in front of the lucky couple, teeth barred, growling until it was “hands off” all around…..

Etymology: The word starts with a play on the word virgin (pure and vestal modesty, a woman with no sexual experience) + Urge (to recommend or push, urge also means a strong desire to do something)+ the suffix (ator)(Latin: a suffix that forms masculine nouns from verbs. The nouns denote people who perform the action of the base verb as well as instruments, machines and similar things performing or used to perform the action of the base verb....used in words such as terminator, dictator or gladiator
