Pronounced back-uh-laurie-ette. Certain states in the U.S. sell baccalaureate bonds to help people save up for college, *tax-free* (gasp!).

Other states use the bond to fund their public universities, and sometimes the cash paid at the bond's maturity can be used for whatever nefarious, non-college plans you may have.
