Fine (but only when my daughter says it after I have told her to do something she doesn't want to do. I think it is more her tone of voice, but that is the word she always uses!)

Golf term. As in fade, or push. Opposite of hook or pull. Right handed players slice across the ball causing it to go right. The quote is from Caddyshack.

What makes me cringe is when people say it WRONG! Most common incorrect pron - chih-POLE-ee. Like nails on a blackboard.
