Bibelot
A bibelot (pronouced beblo) is a small curio or trinket. Now that could be a useful word for impressing antique dealers! The invented meanings have been judged by the voters and Belle Etoile has come up trumps again.
Bibelot (n.) The collection of various sized baby bibs one stores in their kitchen that have long since fit their children.
Does this one even fit her anymore?" Ike inquired about his two year old, as he pinched a newborn bib and raised it in the air. "Just go ahead and add it to the bibelot, I don't have time to go through those right now" his wife replied.
A Bibelot is a recently discovered shellfish. It is found in very deep waters off the coast of France and has been thus named due to the fact that when one is eating a Bibelot, its tremendously tasty juices tend to run down your chin and all over the front of your shirt....hence, it is necessary to wear a bib whilst eating a plate of Bibelots.
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.

i'm surprised she didn't just have him add it to the sockalot in the toddler's top drawer.
Bibelots are the fresh, popping bubbles you see on the surface of a pond just as you turn the corner during a country walk.
