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.

Presbyopia describes people that tell you what to do something when in the same circumstance they do not do it themselves. However, unlike your parents who say 'do as I say not as I do' people with presbyopia do not realise what they are doing - or more precisely, not doing.
Maria hated the fact Mr Jones had banned her from eating her lunch at her desk, he said it was to protect the keyboard. It particularly annoyed her that his presbyobia made him oblivious to the double standard of him tucking in to his Big Mac and Fries wat his own desk.
Presbyopia is not the fear, but rather the nervous feeling that one gets around a member of the clergy; the feeling that they must do everything exactly right for fear they might make some dreadful mistake in front of a man with friends in high places.
Pres•by•o•pi•a Noun.
The severely limited vision that afflicts a republic's supreme leader.
Mister Bush's severe chronic presbyopia resulted in decisions that brought his constituents to feel despondent.
Presbyopia is that affliction that causes people (usually politicians, celebrities or athletes) to do or say inappropriate things that will surely end up in the press. Like when a politician makes derogatory remarks about an ethnic group, only to find out the microphone was on. Or, you know, Mel Gibson.
Presbyopia is the hobby of pressing four leaf clovers in books, usually in hopes of saving the luck for later.
Presbyopia is actually a religious ritual done 500 B.C. It consists of a monthy three day fast followed by a diet of fruits for one week. After that, they could eat dairy and protein.
Presbyopia is what happens when you have you heart set on a particular item that you would like to be given as a gift for your upcoming birthday/anniversary/Christmas. You covet this item, you dream about it, you see it in the store window every time you walk down the street. You drop numerous hints to your partner and loved ones. Your obsession with this item becomes so all encompassing that it prevents you from working or carrying out your normal day to day activities. The only known cure for Presbyopia is to actually receive the gift. Buying it for yourself doesn't work, and if you should happen to receive a gift other the one you have been obsessed with, the Presbyopia escalates until medication is required.
Presbyopia is a fear of recieving presents usually occurs around Christmas and birthdays. Usually linked to a lack of income as the fear is linked to having to give presents back and being unable to afford it.
Presbyopia is an island far, far away (or maybe not). It's famous for its trees. The trees are perfect for children to climb and sit in.
