According to the lyrics of "Any Kind Of Pain" in the 1988 tour program, "When she's in a bold mood/NUKE-YA-LER sounds good". Nuke-ya-ler is a common mispronunciation of the word nuclear. But this word was rarely sung, as this line quickly became a target for secret wordism.

Thanks to Pat Buzby, Román García, Pete Harrington, Hasi, Jon Naurin, and Mike Puterbaugh for secret words.
If you have any corrections, or if you know any secret words from elsewhere in this song, please let me know. ("She brings the '80s to a thrilling conclusion" and "Is this a miracle of pure evolution?" are the other two targeted lines.)
