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.

Frass is the new in word for 'cool'. In the UK it would go something like this:
"Did ya see that guy? Like he is way frass, innit?"
Frass N. - the tinny sound made by sweeping of brushes against cymbals and high hats in the bandstand.
"The frass in Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five' inspired Angela to study jazz in college."
Frass is the watery white substance that appears on yogurt and sour cream after you have opened and used part of it. It is the Frass that makes bachelors and children throw out the whole container instead of stirring it back in.
Whitney, upon seeing the frass covering her vanilla yogurt, proclaimed "Yuck, it's bad!" and threw the yogurt away!
Frass (n.) the clean spots revealed on walls and flooring when stationary furniture and decorations are finally moved out of their spots.
"Wow, that frass really shows what the carpet used to look like before we started having kids, huh?"
Frass describes the almost undetectable sound heard in church when young people are passing notes and giggling. This sound is mostly found amongst pastor's children, as they have had years to perfect it. In children who are new to church, such as toddlers and grade schoolers, the sound they make is described as "fruss", as it is much louder and easily detected by adults.
Mrs. Smith:"Do you hear that?"
Mrs. Jones:"Hear what?"
Mrs. Smith:"I think those naughty pastor's children are making a frass again"
Mrs. Jones: "I can't hear anything over the fruss that new kid is making in the back row"
Fred's posterior
It's another word for really annoyed. "Don't get in a frass," said Sophie.
