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.

It is the language of underwear. This lesser-known cousin of the Language of Flowers and Fan Language, allows lovers to communicate through the medium of foundation garments. Examples:
Blue vest: Be mine
Red jockey shorts with black silk camisole: My heart is yours alone
Green thong with grey stockings: Beware, we are observed
Grey string vest with orange seams and black Y-fronts: When can you escape your chaperone?
Camerlingo (literally "camera tongue") is the tendency for some individuals to stick out their tongues whenever someone tries to snap their photo.
It's common among adolescents, of course, but it's a little known fact that some of the world's most famous models often have to have their tongues airbrushed out of magazine photos because of their untreated camerlingo.
Good one, Sonjea!! How about rabbit ears?
Camerlingo is actually "photographer talk" for all the poses and types of pictures (double exposure, that fogged look on the edges that makes it look dream-like, etc).
The model understood the camerlingo and did all her poses just the way the photographer wanted her to.
Camerlingo is a dialect of a recently discovered bush tribe in Cameroon. It's a strange language that dialect experts from universities around the globe are still trying to decipher. It consists of a series of sounds such as clicks, squawks and the odd raspberry thrown in. One thing they have figured out though is that a question is often ended with the tribesman spitting a rather large amount of saliva into the face of the person he is talking to. Needless to say, I shan't be visiting Cameroon any time in the future.
