Where a Junket is an overseas trip usually taken by politicians at the expense of taxpayers, a Drugget is a trip taken by drug addicts to places like Thailand, this trip is usually funded by the young persons parents who think that their son/daughter is taking a Gap Year before they head off to University to make something of themselves...needless to say that trips like this usually end up going horribly wrong.
Drugget (pronounced dru-gay)was a 1-horse, 2-person carriage popular in France in the 19th century. It was particularly popular among the debutantes of Paris. It was the equivalent of a sports car today.

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.
