plew
plew (PLOO) - n., (Western U.S. & Canada) (dated) a beaver pelt.
I -- what the -- ummm, okay then. Wasn't expecting that definition. Dated because, well, we don't hunt beavers anymore. From Canadian French pelu, from noun use of French pelu, hairy, now an obsolete word but with a long history going back to Latin pilus, hair.
