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.

Glabrous: Of, or pertaining to a scaley underbelly.
'The dragon rolled over, displaying his glabrous parts.'
Glabrous = ample, esp. as in fat.
"His glabrous belly was a difficult fit at the picnic table, and put us all off our meal."
to fall short of glamorous.
Glabrous is a species of bird found mainly in the southern part of the US. This particular species spends abundant amounts of time preening itself and thinks itself quite lovely, even though it is actually not very attractive. Glabrous birds expect to be treated better than other birds and lord over other species. Glabrous birds are closely related to the Parous Hiltonous species.
Glabrous is a term used to describe a gown that is sleek, shiny and downright gorgeous.
"The fashionable Mrs. Smythington wore a lemon yellow glabrous gown that did wonders for her ample figure."
Glabrous. Glabrous is the state of being exceedingly glad. The truly glabrous are those folks in the office who are overly cheerful and fall into that category of "the punishment does not fit the crime," so to speak "Gladys, the single receptionist of 37 years at the typewriter ribbon company-turned mass producer of CDs, brought in Hostess cupcakes, snowball cakes, and raspberry twizzers, that she had bought at the day-old bakery every day to the very grumpy bookkeeper, the buyer, the custodian with a bad limp, the owner, the long-suffering owner's secretary, and the erstwhile marketing guy, leaving them on their desks with a happy face sticker she cheerfully placed on the packaging. No one had the heart to tell her they always wound up in the trash. Gladys had seen it all, the onset of the new technology, the demise of the typrewriter ribbon corporation, the owner's repeated affairs, his chauvenistic behaviors toward all women, and her $.05 raises over the years--yet she remained the most cheerful of all the employees, and was fiercely loyal to the company. No one knows what will happen when Gladys has to retire, but they know she'll be glabrous about it!"
GLABROUS is actually the type of fat that spills out over the sides of an ill fitting (usually too small) bra and creates the look of a tiny buttocks at the arm pit. Glabrousity is often a topic of discussion on What Not To Wear.
Glaborous, it sounds like something you would say to someone when you think thay are funny. Glabrous, yes something that is funny
