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.

A person who fakes an injury to get a ride in an ambulance.
I think a funambulist is someone who goes easy in a competition because they're sure they'll win, and then they lose.
Hee hee Alan
A funambulist is a person in a marching band who plays a funamble, which kind of sounds like a munchkin singing. And bubbles come out of it.
Easy!A funambulist is someone who enjoys walking.
I think that the word has its roots in ambulate and is used to describe members and devotees of Monty Pythons Ministry of Silly Walks
If you're doing something FUN and someone just goes in and makes it turn UNFUN! Then that person is a funambulist.
A funambulist is like a trainspotter, only they spot ambulances instead. They sit at well known accident sites, wait for accidents to happen (but definitely not causing them) and they make a list of ambulances that come to pick up injured people. This is their idea of fun......but certainly not mine!
A person who is passionate about walking only in the way laid down by god. All other forms of walking are an abomination.
A party in an ambulance
A person who keeps a monkey in an old ambulance. Its lots of fun in there.
