Word of the day February 26

Dear ESL creatures ...... the new Word of the Day is:
ARTICHOKE
Remember... We are looking for a WACKY definition as possible, the real meaning is up to the dictionary, Ok?
So, the "harvest" time is open.

�Artichoke � is messing about in a theatrical fashion in the freezing cold.
Arctic = the North Pole Hoke = silly, over-the-top behaviour.
Or it could be a newspaper headline, about that murderous guy, Artie. He strangled a woman �s husband, boyfriend and lover, for a very small fee. �Artichokes three for a pound �.

This is the key to success that an Australian pop group held at an audition repeating the refrain so often that your hair turns grey. (Mine has already, not from this song, however  )
Listen to the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s
AR = artists and repertoire ( division of a record label responsible for talent scouting)
TIC = a word or phrase that someone frequently says without intending it
hoar = grey
