We've all been nuqued!

I have neither a witty anecdote nor good reason for using this word in a sentence.  To be honest, I've never given it much thought in my whole life and I didn't know this thing had a name.

nuque

\ nook \  , noun;

1. the back of the neck.

 

I did, however manage to use it in the most pathetic way possible.  I messaged Ashley on Skype.  The sentence went like this: "Hey, I would just like to say that when it's hot out, your nuque gets very sweaty."

 

To which she replied, "What?"  And I said, "the nuque is the back of the neck."

 

She then stated the obvious: "wotd?"

 

Yup.

 

But now you know, now you ALL know what to call the back of the neck!
