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.

Tenebrific is a term used in science to describe the natural occurance of anything in nature that occurs in ten e.g Dr Smith notice that tigers were successful in 1 hunt of of 10 or Dr Jones noticed that only i turtle in 10 made it to the sea after hatching
When you sing really good you are tenebrific.
Tenebrific is used to describe the career of a tennis player that comes out of nowhere to shoot straight to the top and be number one in the World, only to disappear just as quickly and to never be heard from ever again.....at least until that is they decide to make another one of those awful television programmes entitled...."Whatever Happened To....."
One becomes tenebrific after having drunk ten alcoholic beverages. "Sorry, officer - I'd touch my nose for you but I'm feeling tenebrific this evening."
Like the others, I thought of the number 10. It's not that hard to do when you look at a word you don't know and see that "ten" in there.
Tenebrific is when a person you are talking to is a great conversationalist. The conversation is smooth and easy-going. There's none of that "I like to hear myself talk" or the monosyllables-"yes" and "no" that makes it hard to keep a conversation going. The odds of that is 1 in 10.
