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

- 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.

A Fosse is a dance move. It is named for Bob Fosse, dancer and choreographer. (Kiss me Kate, Cabaret to barely begin the list)
A Fosse is to make jazz hands - this is where your hands are held by your shoulders with fingers splayed, shimmering of hands is optional. A Double Fosse is where you make jazz hands as you do a step-ball-change. The Almighty Fosse is where you bring the arms up from the side and into jazz hands as you step-ball-change. (often the chosen move during the key change at the end of a song)
Anyone that has ever watched an episode of Kids From Fame may have to be treated for an overdose of Fosses.
A fosse is the collective noun for a large group of elderly people. Fosse's can often be spotted catching mini busses to shopping centres.
"Mavis was miserable at Shady Pines until she managed to join a fosse and travel with them to buy her denture pads with company".
Fosse v. - to fold a single piece of paper in such a way that it resembles a fleur de lis.
n. - a single piece of paper that has been folded into a fleur de lis.
"Susan had tried to fosse the vellum for her sister's wedding table decorations. Luckily, she found an upscale party store that stocked plenty of pre-made fosses."
Fosse- a type of hair do done in the sixtys simular to the beehive just not as tall.
A fosse is a posse which travels on foot.

A Fosse (pronounced foss-say) is french for a floosie. In case floosie is a term not recognised outside of Australasia, a floosie is a flirtatious, possibly loose, woman.
