Peduncle - Your uncle that molested you as a child Urban Dictionary

A synthesis of the words 'pedophile' and 'uncle'. Used to define that creepy uncle you have who isn't really your uncle at all. He usually is an old friend of your father's, has a mustache straight out of a porno, and drives an old white van with no windows (a common variation is a van originally equipped with windows, which have now been spray-painted over). Urban Dictionary

The stem of a pumpkin. Urban Dictionary
