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.

Spattee is the term used to describe a person (usually, but not always, a man)who sports a Goatee. When a person with a Goatee has the unfortunate habit of collecting food, toothpaste and other unidentifibale items in their Goatees, they are referred to a Spattees.
A spattee is somebody who uses a Spitton.
Spitton should read Spitoon.
Spattees are the sexy little pantalettes which very adventurous Victorian women wore , which could be interpreted as closet defiance( no pun intended) in an era of total sartorial modesty.
Spattee describes the bubbles babies blow when they are happy. Usually spattees contain lots and lots of drool.
Spattee is a little spat... It is generally the result of girls being endlessly teased (usually about their weight) by their male friends and is generally easy to sort out... a few praises and chocolates generally do the trick!

So maybe spattee is a person that tries to win an argument by redirecting the argument onto a topic they know they can win on.
Spattees can be identified by the overuse of the phrase, "Yes, but"
the stinging pain of splashing fat when frying bacon naked.

The spattee is that little hook or eyelet on the back of a picture frame, through which your nail or picture hanger goes. If you've had a couple of drinks before you attempt to hang your photos, it's very difficult to get the nail and the spattee to meet up.
Your Hitler mustache definition is not far off from the true definition. Though having nothing to do with the despot, a spattee (pronounced spah-TAY) is actually a small "wig" or artificial hair piece used on places other than the head to cover baldness. Used by different racial groups for different reasons, spattees cover up areas where nature did not give one the desired or fashionable hair growth. The original spattee design, worn by Wyatt Earp and his brothers, actually doubled as a spittle filter, which thereby gave the spattee it's name.
"Does Minh actually have that much chest hair, or do you think that's a spattee?"
Hilarious Chindo! Way to go!
