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

A nuphar is a type of tree. It's fruit is a cross between an apple and a mango. Really juicy and delicious-great by itself or in salads or baked in pies. It is found in the wild Amazon territory.

It is the word you use to describe your sibling's male cat when your sibling treats the cat like a child with fur.
'Mr Tibbles is my nuphar. I have to buy him a birthday present or my sister will think I hate her.'
nuphar is what I got on the golf course- a new par- easier to say!
Nuphar is the one thing that will make a person say "that's enough!" Most of the time a nuphar applies to the annoying habits of small children.
Annie's nuphar for the day was when little George went screaming through the house for no reason for the 4th time in about an hour. After that all the children went to bed early.
A Nuphar is the most junior person in both age and job description in the office. This person is similar to the traditional office Gopher that picked up your drycleaning, made you coffee etc, etc...however in this technological day and age the Nuphar is actually required to do all of those menial tasks as well as update your electronic diary for you, send inter-department e-mails on important projects you are currently overseeing. Oh My God....I just realised I'm a Nuphar!
The Andean goddess of all things pointed. Significant symbolism includes a trident spear, gown of thorns, horn rimmed glasses, and her ubiquitous sidekick, Spike the Hedgehog.
She is usually called upon during poor cactus harvest years, but she has recently been summoned for such banal complications as dull pencils.
