Bedgery

/ˈbɛdʒəri/ noun

Definition

Overly theatrical or exaggerated behavior in bed; affected or pretentious bedroom conduct (archaic/rare).

Etymology

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that even the Oxford English Dictionary has limited examples—it might be one of those words that was coined once and never really caught on, showing how not all word-creations succeed!
