Word of the day: muggins

The word of the day is muggins:

1. a convention in the card game of cribbage in which a player scores points overlooked by an opponent.
2. a game of dominoes, in which any player who can make the sum of two ends of the line equal five or a multiple of five adds the number so made to his or her score.

"fool, simpleton," 1855, apparently from the surname, perhaps influenced by slang mug "dupe, fool" (see mug (n.2)).
