Not always a condom.True, but that's for you, myself, and just about everyone else. Since Sean had to use all two of his brain cells to even pronounce the word, I'd say chances are he meant "Condom".

Not always a condom. Every now and then I will use it in a meeting. I will say "we have to do this prophylactically" and watch them process the sentence.
It is funny, but I don't recommend it for everyone. You need to establish your linguistic quals first.

You can be sure Penn-the-moron didn't know the other meaning of "prophylactic"
