slugpocket 

A play on words no one has never heard of or made up before.
Explanation: Think of a slug crawling inside your pants pocket as a plug being inserted into a socket. (And here you have a rhyme!)

Me: “There’s a slugpocket somewhere in my pants.”
Janis: “Why?”
Me: “I can tell because it smells funny.”
