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.

Geminate is a celebration that jewelers have after a successful cutting of a very precious and expensive hard to cut gem.....
hey Larry great job lets Geminate at our favorite place at 7:00 bring Alice.
okay just to say It is snowing and I am totally excited yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Geminate is someone who dresses to look like Gem or one of the misfits (Gem is a cartoon from the 80's). Geminates are noted for wearing funky clothes, ripped denim especially, and have hot poink or purple hair. They wear one lace glove and one leather one, and carry around a wireless microphone in case of emergency karaoke sessions.
It's easiest to describe geminate in terms of a similar word, ruminate. To ruminate is to chew the cud, and it's what an animal known as a ruminant (ie, a cow) does.
Thus, to geminate is what a geminant does. A geminant is an animal such as a snake that eats other animals, alive and whole.
Not many people have the stomach to watch a snake geminate, which is the main reason not many are kept as pets.
To geminate is to create an uncut gem into a marquis, tear-drop, round, and other shapes with any number of carats or facets.
The jeweler stares at an uncut diamond with hardly any flaws. He stared at it much like an artist would at a blank canvas to get some inspiration of what to create.
Soon, he geminates it, chisels it into a beautiful teardrop shape. He makes a fancy setting for it and viola! A beautiful engagement ring is born!!
Suddenly,
To geminate is to have a diamond set into your tooth.
To geminate is to artificially inseminate a woman with twin embryos.
to geminiate is to divide into two identical parts (as in Gemini - the twins)
Mothers often become adept at geminating cookies, slices of cake, and other tasty treats that their children crave...
To geminate is similar to crystallise, except that it describes the formation of gems.
To geminate is when two people born under the star sign of Gemini get together and have a baby and that baby is born under the star sign of Gemini. Suprageminate happens in only 39 000 births. This is when geminates have twins born under the Gemini star sign.
