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.

Isn't the fovea part of the eye?
Actually, the fovea is that little white curved part of the tip of your fingernail. It's the part they paint white in a French manicure. I've cut my nails short to do some gardening, so my foveas are almost nonexistent.
Fovea is a new colour of matt paint available from one of those specislist antique ranges, this one from the Regency period. I'm afraid it's a rather uninspiring beige colour but it it has its uses for someone following a regency theme in their home. It's quite expensive though.
Fovea is the fur that grows on the underside of an animal's neck. It is usually softer and shorter than the fur that grows elsewhere on an animal's body.
"Millicent stroked the fovea of the ferret, cradling the creature in her arms and kissing it often, much to the dismay of her date, Horace."
Fovea is the ingredient in most hand-lotions that softens your calluses but also produces the slightly sticky after-effect.
It is part of the central vision, right?
Fovea is a name given to one of the healthy bacteria found in your intestines. It is better known as the "normal flora". It can also be found in yogurt, too.
Fovea is the name for all the litter that can be found on the forest floor. Litter such as pine needles, leaves and other bits and pieces that drop from the bush canopy onto the ground.
Fovea is a type of runner bean nearly lost at the turn of the last century when people started to abandon all those lovely "heirloom" veggies we hunt down today. It's a long, stately green type of bean with downy hairs on it. Once dried and shelled you will find the pods themselves are actually brilliant purple and quite tasty.
Fovea. N. - a nut bearing tree whose flowers are delicate and tend to be orange or pink.
Millicent kissed Harold under the fovea tree behind the school building. Harold's cheeks grew as pink as the fovea flowers that hung near his ears.
Botanics continued ...
A fovea is a flower which grows on a long slender many tendrilled stem . The petals are large and white and many layered with the deepest insides a very pale peachy, pinky tint drawn in long delicate brushstrokes . It blooms on midsummer night in a deserted churchyard in Roald Dahl country . There is only ONE fovea .
