Dancery

This word was made popular by Mary J. Blige in her song Family Affair. However, it ends up that's not what she's saying. The correct lyric is "Dance Soiree". A "soiree" is an evening party or gathering typically held in a private home. I suppose that does make a little more sense than dancery.

Everyone was surprised to learn that the song lyric is actually "Dance soiree", not "dancery".
