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.

Autarky is the feeling you get when you do something just because you think you should but really you don't want to. You end up feeling a tad resentful, but slightly virtuous all at the same time.
"Sara was feeling autarky because she had felt obliged to help Steve hang out the washing even though she hadn't sat down all day"
Autarky (n.) - the incorrect usage of vocubarly due to a hearing problem in the speaker.
Larry's autarky really comes out with words beginning in "c". In fact, last week he nearly caused me to lose my breath from laughing so hard when he said that he'd rather just stay home for the evening so as not to constipate matters further.
I have problems with my SHs and CHs. I like belle etoile's definition.
Autarky is the problem you get when you get a "lemon," mostly in reference to a car.
Mr. Jones bought a used car for his son, but the autarky had one problem after another. He will never buy another vehicle "as is" again.
The cooing made by families on seeing the cutest otter at the zoo.
Did I really spell vocabulary like that? I must have a bad case of scritarky (which is autarky specific to writing).
sorry to constipate the situation even more, but i think an autarky is a genetic cross between a tarantula, a turkey, and an australian shepherd.
i'm fairly conceived on that.
