Fascicle
A fascicle is a bundle. It's also an installment of a book. Interesting. I shall keep that up my sleeve for future reference. If only I could figure out the pronunciation. Oh, here it is. Fassicle. Moving right along now. Two word imps received equal votes on the poll today. Congratulations (and welcome back) to Raelha and The Encourager. Great work, both of you.

A belated Happy New Year to all wordwizards out there.
Now, fascicle is usually combined with exercise i.e. F.E. or Fascicle Exercise. In order to maintain a wrinkle free face, fascicle exercise describes the practice of pulling weird faces or gurning.
Soon to become a recognised Olympic sport, enterprising local authorities are opening special halls of mirrors for people to practise pulling faces at one another.
Phew! That was a toughie!

As the saying should say:
"It's not over til the fat lady hits the fascicle."
A fascicle is an ice formation seen on the faces of tundra dwellers. Many of these fascicles go unnoticed for long periods of time and become extremely difficult to remove.
A fascicle is a bike for beginners. Once you have mastered the rudiments of the fascicle you are qualified to move on to the difficicle... which has thin wheels and is ridden by the likes of Lance Armstrong et al.
A fascicle is a newfangled toy that will be invented in the near future for the pure pleasure of small children: an artificially colored, gooey, jelly-like substance which can be squeezed and mushed into any shape, then stuck to a gutter, where it will lengthen and slowly drip into a puddle on the ground like a real icicle. (Eventually this puddle must be scooped up and carried away by the original owner, because, when left out long enough that mold can grow on it, a certain chemical used in the creation of a fascicle is highly toxic to plants of any type.)
A fascicle is a memory device of any sort; something that facilitates something.
