Word of the Day: Pin Money

I subscribe to a Dictionary.com "Word of the Day." I think I'm hoping it makes me smarter. It's um...not really working.

Anywho...

The Word of the Day from April 14th was Pin Money.
  1. An allowance of money given by a husband to his wife for private and personal expenditures.
  2. Money for incidental expenses.
  3. A trivial sum.
Humph!! As if!!!

Funny enough. If you do a search for that same phrase on Dictionary.com, it returns the following:
  1. any small sum set aside for nonessential minor expenditures.
  2. (formerly) an allowance of money given by a husband to his wife for her personal expenditures.
That's right. FORMERLY. Uh huh.
