Poteen
Poteen is Irish whiskey from an illegal still. What a wonderful variety of entries today! Laura and The Mad Fishicist tied in the poll. Great work, you two.
Poteen is a lot like poutin (poo-teen). Poutin is a yummy treat consisting of french fries, gravy, and mozzarella cheese all heated up. Yum! POTEEN is the same thing, but with a baked potato instead of french fries.
Poteen is an adjective you use when describing a teenager who has a PARTICULARLY bad case of acne. Thankfully I never had acne. But you know the ones - their faces are very red with angry looking pustules all over it. in very bad cases of a poteen person, it continues down to their shoulders and back.
Poteen is a disgusting purple medicine that you have to take seven times a day if you are unlucky enough to get a vomiting illness called Pukilitis. But it makes you better.
Poteen is a game that's played on something like a pool table. The colour of the felt is either orange, yellow or blue. There are only five balls and instead of cues you use bats.
Poteen is what you give the stray cats to eat after you have had your dinner .
I've seen the kittens in the street grow into fat glossy toms and tabbies on a steady diet of poteen from the neighbourhood houses and the rats in the gardens
Poteen is the Cornish word for stew. Usually made from lamb or mutton.
"All roight my luvver would you like some more poteen?" asked the waitress. It had taken a few days, but now Tom and Mary were getting used to the Cornish accent.
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.
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.
