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.

A new Country/Blues/Rock/Jazz band had a song called "To Rocambole" (pronounced rock-cam-bowl-ee) that has been on the Top Ten charts for the past three months. The song inspired a form of line dancing each line of dancers face each other instead of all facing the same direction) and the mirror-mimicking moves make the timing a bit challenging, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun. This is one dance that anyone can do no matter what shape you are in. Come on, give it a whirl.
It's a type of dip made from fish eggs and avocado. It was a dinner party staple in the 1970s. It's actually a very pleasant and inoffensive combination, although the sludgy colouring is a bit off-putting.
