August 26th, 2012 WotW is : ABLIGURITION
Abligurition \Ab*lig`u*ri"tion\
from the Latin word abligurire and it means to spend in luxurious indulgence
Abligurition was used in popular English writings prior to the 20th Century. While it's translation from the Latin basically means to spend a lot of money to indulge, it was typically used in reference to that large sum of money spent on food and libations.
Lebron James club tab after winning the 2012 NBA title, including a whopping $75,000 bottle of Ace of Spades, would be considered an abligurition.
in a sentence: "I know they saved for their wedding for a year, but having both filet mignon and lobster tails for all the guests seems to be an abligurition to me."
But honestly- you can't take it with you, right? Why not spend it on food?
