Grue is a word that linguists love to use in examples, being a word that supposedly has no meaning in English. Sometimes they ask the gentle reader to imagine that it's a colour. This always confused me when I was a student, because if grue has no meaning, where does gruesome come from?
It's also the French word for crane - bird as well as tall metal lifting thing.
