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.

About Me
- Word Imp
- I am a children's author who has had a handful of books published by trade publishers. They're in book shops and libraries. I've also had a sackful of books published by educational publishers. These are mainly found in schools. I love words and that's why I invented this blog site.

Oxter is a person who blogs everyday without missing a beat. Those who miss a day or two in-between are called Oxter Level 1 (Oxter-1). Those who blog once a week are called Oxter Level 2 (Oxter-2). And then the ones who post once a month or less are Oxter Level 3 (Oxter-3).
I would rate myself Oxter-1 on one blog, and mostly Oxter on the other blog.
Oxter A term used for Freshman at Oxford College.
Hey Joe look the Oxter's have arrived.
Oxter is an old fashioned word for a pie delivery man, it is also used for the box he carries his pies in.
The children were always excited on Tuesday nights as this was the night the oxter man came.
Oster is a popular brand of kitchen appliance; Oxter is the cheap knock-off version.
Oxter N. - an unwritten canon of prayers, poetry and songs written for the bovine, in a common bovine language for worship of the great hay.
"Lizzie was surprised to hear that her ranch-hand cousin believed so deeply in the sacred sentience of the beasts he tended. 'Don't see why you don't think God talks just t'us," he said. 'Besides, if you can worship with a psalter, can't see why cows can't with an oxter!' He then proceeded to bellow an ancient cow call to prayer."
Oxster is the scientific term for bubbles.
An Oxter won the Grand Prix way back in 1921, driven by Arlain Prieur. It is what a lot of modern day sports cars are based on, particularly the Boxster. Have been a bit of an Oxter-2 of late, but back in the land of civilisation and computers again, so hoping to move up to level 1.
An oxter is a light bulb that doesn't fit the light bulb fitting that it's supposed to fit! Grrrr!
