fulham (FOOL-uhm) - n., (Brit., arch., slang) a loaded die.
That is, dice made with extra weight towards a side or a corner so that they favor specific throws, rather than even odds for each face. The more common spelling is fullam, even though it's named after Fulham, Middlesex (now part of Hammersmith, greater London) where they supposed to be chiefly made there.
Thanks, WikiMedia!
And that wraps up anther week of WTFWWF -- back next week with ye olde regular lexical mix.
