Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.
Visit my Writing Bug website
How to Play:
1. I choose an obscure dictionary word.
2. You invent a wacky meaning and add it as a comment.
3. After a certain time I list the true meaning and choose a winner for the invented meaning.
There are no prizes, just lots of fun!
Remember, children use this site too.

A Gharry is a creaky ceiling fan - one that goes 'gharry gharry gharry...' instead of 'ghurr ghurr ghurr...'
Gharry is Bharry's twin brother.
Gharry means one of those eerie, dark nights that are inky black-nNot even a star can be found peeking through the thick clouds.
Pooh shivered as he walked home, taking a short-cut through the forest. He heard owls hooting and started to panic as he thought of "lions, tigers, and bears" that may be sleathly watching him. He picked up his pace just enough so anything watching him would not smell his fear. It was just too gharry a night to be out alone.
A desert somewhere in the middle east. The Gharry Desert.
It is the adjective to describe the sound of the last breath that you take before you die, the name of the last breath being gharr.
When asked how he was Simon, a obsessive hyperchondriac, would often reply, "oh a bit gharry today"
I would like to say that Mr. C came up with this slightly depressing entry.
Gharry is when a person is grim and harried and constantly rattling you .
a gharry is the piece of cloth that's twisted and formed into a circle on top of a (woman's) head and which helps balance the large jug of water she's carrying.
