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.

About Me
- Word Imp
- 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.

Mr. Magoo was cleaning out the chimney and banged his head on one of the bricks. Once imbricated, he had to be watched for concussions.
Imbricated is to insist on crazy and high falutin conditions for celebrity appearances.
The cusions were of eiderdown, as imbricated by J-Lo, to ensure a comfortable repose for her world famous rump.
