As Lindsey said:

Please don �t post any dictionary definitions until everyone has had a chance to guess!

Otherwise, the point of the game is lost - even less than nugatory.

�Nugget � is a name for a long-established brand of shoe polish so I would say �nugatory � is the history of shoe polish...... or the �purgatory � that your shoes go to if they are not �nuggeted � regularly.

It �s a body part of chickens (?) -- the nugatory joint -- and that �s where chicken nuggets come from.  And do not ask where that joint is located as you will not like the answer. Wink  Well, actually, those nuggets might not be from chickens, either.

chicken nuggets - just for donapeter
 
 A nugget is a lump of something -  a gold nugget for example, or a piece of food. You can have fish nuggets, so maybe any small roundish lump of food. The nuggets I �ve seen have always been deep fried. McDonald �s has Chicken McNuggets.
