Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.

Rouncival
A rouncival is a large variety of pea. I've never been a fan of peas, so I don't think I'll be trying one any time soon. The blog meanings were lots of fun and the winner on the poll, again, was Calie. Well done, Calie.
Rouncival is a game that children play while seated in a circle. It is similar to "Duck-duck goose" but when you catch the goose you smash a goose egg over their head. It's a gooey mess but kids love it.
Sir Rouncival is a little-known Knight of the Round Table. He was the one who took the minutes, read the apologies for absence and ensured that everyone had a copy of the agenda.
Rouncival is an adjective that has come to be used in describing an efficient and jolly officer on the committee of any society or club.
Rouncival is a rodent much like a gerbil. They are attracted to round shaped items, such as balls, spinning wheels, and coins. They are a favorite with kids-even more so than guinea pigs.
A rouncival is a planned match that takes place in a large circular ring between four rival teams of wrestlers. Rouncivals began in Scottland, and therefore are rare to find elsewhere.
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.
