stag
Doe's potential mate
A stag is an adult male deer, especially a red deer.
The word extends to men-only gatherings: a stag party or stag night celebrates a groom before his wedding.
To go stag is to attend an event without a date: He went stag to the prom.
In finance, a stag buys new share offerings hoping to sell quickly at a profit.
