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

- 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.

It is an addiction wearing uncomfortable underwear --
A: Why is she walking like that?
B: She suffers from pantagruelism.
pantagruelism is is a type of artwork done on pants. The media can be anything from mustard to barbecue sauce - any condiment, really. Critics look for an attitude of randomness and explosiveness. Pantagruelism is a type of art that is short lived, as the next laundry cycle washes away the artist's composition.

Pantagreulism- when one works very hard he is in a state of pantagreulism. IE. John was moving the rocks in his garden which set him into a state of pantagreulism you know huffing & puffing and panting all the way.
It's the grueling shimmying, sucking in, laying on the bed effort to get your "skinny" pants zipped up.
"Ms. Fubsy, you'd better have a good excuse for missing the 9:00 meeting with our most important clients!"
"I'm sorry, sir - my pantagruelism was worse than ever this morning."
Panatagruelism is the feeling one gets after eating a large meal. Usually happens around holidays such as Christmas.
e.g. Joe had to lossen his pants and sit outsit and sleep because of his pantagruelism after consumming large amount of ham at Christmas Dinner.
Pantagruelism is when a man drops his trousers without any warning.
"Professor Snodgrass's students were appalled at the sudden display of pantagruelism that occurred when the professor sneezed, causing his trousers to drop to the floor and reveal a pair of bright pink boxer shorts embroidered with the phrase, "I Love My Mommy."
Pantagruelism. N. a philosophy that contends each day should be lived in laborious misery to acheive higher understanding of the nature of life. Adherents, called pantagruelists, are generally morose. They are prone to putting tiny pebbles in their shoes just to irritate their feet.
(origins. Greek "pan" meaning "all" + German "tag" meaning "day". English "grueling" meaning "arduous and exhausting.")
