wingery
n.— «Our destination: the brand new WOW Cafe and Wingery next to Mayfaire Cinemas. The “WOW” we learned stands for “World of Wings.”…We discovered that WOW’s menus had little WOWs next to select items which “denote a WOW favorite”—and, of course, that “wingery” is just a really fun word to say.» —“WOW Cafe and Wingery: Get your WOW on at the new World of Wings” by Emily Rea Encore Online (Wilmington, North Carolina) Nov. 15, 2006.
