Killick
A killick is a small anchor or a heavy stone used as an anchor. Great meanings again today. Thanks to all my regular word imps for your continued dedication. I appreciate it immensely. The winner on the poll was Realityjunkie. Well done, RJ.
A killick is a very small hillock, so small in fact it is actually just a raised lump in the turf. The defining feature of a killick is that you cannot not trip over it. I guess when you do you can say you have been killicked.
Killick is the elongated tissue that joins the back of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. When the tissue is connected to the roof of the mouth a killickostomy must be performed.
killickous is the ability to lick the tip of your nose with your tongue by stretching the killick
A Killick is what your husband gives you when he comes home from the pub after consuming one too many Kilkenny Irish beers. It's supposed to be a kiss hello and an apology for being so late all rolled into one, but as he stumbles through the door and tries to plant the kiss on your lips, he starts to sway, misses your lips and ends up giving you a big Killick on your ear instead.
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.
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.

I love all of the meanings so much that I will not play today! Oh, it must be so difficult to have to choose!
It is when dogs lick you after licking the 'unmentionables'. It makes you want to kill the dog.
