Couvade

I get the daily word every day on my e-mail from dictionary.com. If any of you can guess what this word of the day means before you read the definition you're really smart and probably weird.

couvade \koo-VAHD\, noun:

A practice in certain cultures in which the husband of a woman in labor takes to his bed as though he were bearing the child.

Yep I was pretty surprised when that popped up as the word of the day. I don't really know why you would know that word.
