It's a disparaging onomatopoeia for "work"

Florida was funny, people in parkas at 60 degrees... 
So, with some easy way to navigate up down left right shallow deep, and then visualize it in the way of "served includes" that behave like a separate window. now you can lay out topics, subtopics, and level of depth, and they should be easy for anybody to navigate to, which will especially help when someone doesn't quite know exactly what to search for.
I could see someone who heard an argument they think sounds right but they are unsure so they look it up, come into the site and mid-level depth, sink down to the bottom and become convinced, and then float up to the top and start sharing memes.
Through tagging, you could interrelate the subtopics in each category, in order to preserve context when travelling along the Z axis. IE you can browse from Abuse of Authority to Excess Taxation to Regulatory Capture to Legislative Corruption to Executive Power, and the information will switch to the new topic while retaining the same general context. If you are looking at the subtopic "police abuse" and browsing 'chases' and then flip to excess taxation, we would (if possible) link to a place where there is a police chase for tax dodgers or whatever. This way you artificially contiguate the X axis along multiple major categories.
It really is less complicated than it sounds, and I think the end result will be a much easier way to find something when you don't quite know that to put in a search box.
And indeed, to really make it easier to find the "unknown" if the inter relational DB is done right you could let the user to pick any three of a dozen or so sort-order metrics for the X Y and Z axes, organize it how they make sense to them, and then browse out what they are looking for.

The libertarian paradox. The individual abhors the collective, but is powerless to defend himself without it.
