BUNGHOLE OF THE WEEK: TANTALIZE (or tantalise)

TANTALIZE ([verb] torment or tease with the sight or promise of something that is unobtainable)
is named for Tantalus, the mythical king of the Phrygians, who, for his sins, was condemned to eternally suffer thirst and hunger in Hades by being made to stand in a pool of water that receded when he stooped to drink and with a branch of fruit hanging over him that rose higher when he reached for it.
