(Response 125 was not scored. Not that it matters; its score would appear
to be 0.)

There is a crappy movie called "The Stickup", so that's at the very least
a slang word. Stuck-up, on the other hand, is spelled with a dash ;)

"stuck-up" I can find (hyphenated word). I can't score "robbery" (two
guesses in a row). Sorry about not scoring r 125. You were right, it
got a zero. WordNet defines "stickup" as "robbery at gunpoint."

OED 2d ed defines "stickum" as you might expect:
stickum sti.k /enticons/ipa313.gif /enticons/breve.gif m. N. Amer.
colloq. [f. stick v.1 + um, 'um. ] A sticky or adhesive substance;
gum, paste; pomade. Also transf. and fig.
Apparently it goes back to at least 1909...
Your word, Joe!
