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.

Toccata is a Yiddish word that refers to any unusual, often hoity-toity, kitchen tool that no one knows the correct name for.
"I need to carve this radish into a rose -- hand me that toccata over there."
A Toccata is a song sung by a potential suitor underneath the window of the woman he is trying to woo. This Toccata is often very painful to listen to as sometimes the suitors can't sing very well, a bit like watching American Idol auditions actually, however, the feeling and meaning behind the Toccata being sung is usually enough to win the woman over.
Toccata is a light shade of brown.
Shelby rummaged through a large boz of crayons. Her mom noticed that she was digging around. "What are you looking for?" she asks.
"I can't find Toccata. It's a brownish color."
The mother inwardly sighs. How many shades of colors do we need?
Toccata is the pace of today.
Toccata is the sound a mother makes when she is so disappointed with her children that she can't speak. Toccata usually consists of the clicking of the tongue and a long sigh and is almost always followed by the shaking of the head.
