n.— «A doughnut, and although that’s a pejorative wine tasters sometimes use (as in, a wine that’s got a lot of front and back but a hole in the middle), there are no holes in this one.» —“Red, red wine in a modern beat style” by Jurgen Gothe Straight.com (Vancouver, Can.) Mar. 23, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
