Octopussy
Octopussy is the title of a 1983 James Bond film and the Ian Fleming short story it drew from.
The name belongs to a female character and her circus, playing on *octopus* with a suggestive suffix.
Outside Bond references, the word occasionally appears as playful or crude slang combining the eight-armed sea creature with *pussy*: The aquarium gift shop sold an octopussy plushie.
