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.

"Congratulations on being a finalist in the NZ Post Children's Book Awards," said Millicent, without a trace of tarantism in her voice. "Seriously, I am so very happy for you."
Tarantism: a mild form of envy that humorless people sometimes have.
Tarantism is the mistaken belief that fortunes from fortune cookies MUST come true.
"What's wrong with Liz? She seems sad."
"Oh, her tarantism is getting worse. Today she thought a visitor would bring her love and a happy home, but it was just a kid selling magazines."
Tarantism is the term used for people who are obsessed with Quentin Tarantino and his films. They know everything about every film ever made by Mr Tarantino. They know them all line by line and in actual fact, most of them live their lives as though they were in a Quentin Tarantino film. Very scary.
Tarantism is the state of tarantulas. Mostly it means that a person has a tarantula for a pet.
I hate spiders. I know I do not have a problem with tarantism.
A tarantism is a common slip of the tongue that happens to people who really love dirt.
"Hey Charlie did you see that new muddy? Um, I mean movie?"
Tarantula fetishism ?
Tarantism: This is the study of a disease that is cruelly inflicted on those that watch Quentin Tarantino films.
"Colleges will be offering course study and couse majors in Tarantism this coming fall."
"...Drug companies are furiously researching for a cure. Donations are requested to further advance Tarantism so that those needlessly suffering can be helped before it's too late."
Tarantism. T-A-R-A-N-T-I-S-M. Tarantism. The act of torturing a younger sibling. "Engaging in an act of tarantism, Tim stuffed Becky down into the bottom of a sleeping bag and then sat on the opening at the top."
