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.

To Pelf is to snort in disbelief at something somebody has told you that is obviously an outrageous lie, i.e........Sally walked into the dorm room and announced to all her friends that she had just bumped into Brad Pitt down at Starbucks and that as their eyes met across the crowded coffee bar, there was a bolt of electricity that shot between them.....and as if that wasn't enough he had asked her to run away with him to Las Vegas to get married. Sally's friends all Pelfed rather loudly and went back to listening to their ipods.
Pelf is the muffled sounds you hear underwater.
The sounds of feet or hands splashing or stones hitting the water make pelfing sounds when you are underwater.
Pelf is that stuff you find in the bottom of your purse - a mixture of lint, gum wrappers, hair dood-dads and breathmints all tangled together.
I actually know this acronym, so it's not very fair:
P. E. L. F.
The Petersons of Estonia Liberation Front. Pelfters are committed body and soul to the unconditional and immediate release of Thad and Daryl "DeePee" Peterson, brothers who were imprisoned simply because they violated an anachronistic local statute some years ago. Who knew it was illegal to wear musk of ibex to coeducational parties on the third Wednesday of each month that ends in "ember"? Not fair if you ask us. Dial 00-51-700075 on your handy phone in support of the cause. The Petersons need you. Justice needs you.

Pelf-A pygmy elf
Pelf: an elf that partys to much. Santa asked where murry was and the other elves said he pelfed and Santa was not amused.
