What does "vorpal" mean, again?

Ta-Nehisi Coates:

What would it be like to try D&D today as a full-grown adult? [...] There is something to said for having to imagine what that Sword of Vorpal Wounding looks like, or how it would feel to face a White Dragon. My question for the Nerds among us is, Have any of you guys tried D&D as adult? Did you just put away the polyhedral dice and say forget it? Do you ever get the hankering to go rooting through the Caves of Chaos?
