Nodosity
Nodosity is actually another word for knottiness. Now that's a useful word if you're into wowing your friends and co-workers. My daughter and I are both long haired blondes so nodosity is a constant companion. Sara's meaning won the day with the voters. Congratulations Sara.
That's easy. I've been suffering from nodosity ever since we finished our Christmas dinner today. Nodosity is that feeling of overwhelming tiredness that you get on Christmas day afternoon. It comes from too many late nights and early mornings, dealing with with excited children and long to do lists. Merry Christmas everyone.
Nodosity is when people are negotiating a solution to a problem and there is an even number of people on each side of the argument. To sort out the nodosity, the best runner on one side has a running race against the best runner on the other side. That's how they sort out the argument in the end.
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.
