Ginglymus
A ginglymus is a joint in the body such as the elbow which works like a hinge and has motion in two directions. There you go! Another useful fact! Who said learning can't be fun? No doubt the medicos out there in word imperia were chuckling to themselves about knowing that one. There was plenty of fun on the blog with ginglymus. The invented meaning of Thinks! found favour with the voters. Well done, Thinks!

Ginglymus - after struggling at a blocked plug hole with a sink plunger, bent wire coat hanger and long screw driver, a ginglymus is what you eventually extract from the sink u-bend. A strange, congealed lump of hair, soap and black stuff tangled up with old wedding rings and yesterdays dinner. Nice word for nice stuff!!!
A Ginglymus (n) describes someones reaction to being tickled. It is a mixture of giggles, snorting, spluttering and squealing. The length of a ginglymus is relative to the part of the body tickled, tickling technique used and time taken to tickle.
Example: She let out a short, sharp ginglymus when Simon pinched her knees, the rascal - he knew that was the most ticklish part of her body!
Ginglymus: a celtic fairy creature related to the leprechaun who induces people to wear plaid with polka dots, invest in extra large bow ties, or similarly causes other fashion fuax pas. On one hand ginglymus' work is responsible for the loss of tens of thousands of job opportunities, and on the other hand is accidently responsible for the creation of the clowning industry, and not a few high fashion houses.
Ginglymus: This is one of those strange, extremely rare, Tasmanian oddities that neither Creationists nor Darwinists seem to be able to explain.
It is a marsupial, has four webbed feet, a tail like a beaver, a brown fluffy body and a face like an anteater. It is a very shy and timid little creature and is nocturnal and mostly vegetarian. It eats the rotting vegetation woodland floors and sometimes will eat slugs.
Scientists have studied the DNA and it is not related to any living or extinct species. Creationists have to grudingly admit that Noah would not have been able to hop down to Tasmania to collect a couple to go in his ark.
Talking of fashion houses, Pastor Phil:
Ginglymus is a synthetic fabric (the name is a combination of gingham + glymus, the chemical base it's made from). The intention was to keep colours from running or fading, but unfortunately it was found to be highly flammable.
Consequently, it is used to make ordinary looking clothes for burning stuntment to wear over their protective gear, since the flames look very impressive.
I Meant "stuntmen" of course, not "stuntment". Having finger trouble today (took me 3 attempts to get my login name & password right to post this!). Blame the awful weather...
Ginglymus (n.) - fungal growth on unused gingerbread in the refridgerator.
Popularly used to describe a state of neglect or decay.eg: "If you don't use it soon, there'll be ginglymus growing on your exercise cycle!"
Ginglymus is a game similar to polo, but played while wearing long stilts instead of riding horses. It was popular for a time in the early 17th century among the English gentry. The name is believed to have originally been something like "gangly master", a reference to the appearance of the stilt-wearing players. Ginglymus eventually fell out of favor when it was realized that the players just looked too silly, even for English gentry.

Ginglymus-
(n.)- a ginglymus is described as the 207th bone of the homo sapiens vertica (a rare type of human that exists only in the jungles of Africa). Regular humans are thus called inginglymi.
The Ginglymus was a short-lived brand of bubble gum laced with mouthwash, designed for schoolchildren who don't have time to brush their teeth after lunch. It tasted horribly, so nobody bought it and was discontinued after only one school semester.
A glingymus is a small gland situated near the base of the skull in a relatively small proportion of people. The gland is responsible for hair colour and produces redheads. hence the 'ging' part.
Ginglymus describes a condition of the gums (gingiva) only recently described in medical literature. It is caused by the jewelry backs of multiple facial piercings rubbing against the gums causing abrasions, bleeding and excruciatingly bad breath.
Ginglymus is the condition of Christmas bells after a protracted holiday season.
Ginglymus is the small piece of skin under your tongue also known as the "thingy". The ginglymus is responsible for "gleaking", which is when a small spray of spittle shoots out from under your tongue. Some people have inherited very strong ginglymi and can "gleak" on command.
Ginglymus is a little known character that was edited out at the last minute from Spike Milligan's "Bad Jelly the Witch' story as heard on children's radio programmes across the world. Ginglymus was a close companion of Fluffy Bum the Cat, but every time Spike tried to read the lines that involved Fluffy Bum the Cat and Ginglymus he would get horribly tongue tied and burst out laughing, needless to say that after about 30 attempted recordings of the the story, the producer of the radio show insisted that Ginglymus be dropped from the story! In private however, Ginglymus remained a favourite character of Spike's and ended up starring in his own story.
Ginglymus:
An object used in olden days to tighten corsets. It got its name from the strange exhaling sounds the women would make when subjected to this extreme torture.
J Morgetron & Duckman:
I noticed we were a tie for "Thanatoid", did we 3 just vote for ourselves? :o)
Ohh, the definition I had come up with was almost identical to Magdalene's! How funny...
Therefore, I'll wait for tomorrow's word.
Ginglymus: The plant that ginger root comes from.
Ginglymus (n)- Found inside certain joints on certain people, this is the substance that will make it double jointed. Sometimes if a double joint is used too much the ginglymus in it will leak out, causing the abrupt ceasing of that joint to be double.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
