Tegument
Tegument describes the natural covering - fur, feathers, scales etc - of an animal's body. I guess the zoologists amongst us would have been sitting pretty with that one. However, it's all new to me - as are most of the words I find for this blog. Great invented meanings as always. Realityjunkie took the cake and the poll with her meaning. Thanks for that. Well done.

Tegument means to be proud in unexpected ways.
"The mountain climbers posed for pictures, tegument in the knowledge they had climbed the world's largest midden."
As a nurse tegument sounds like some kind of a dressing or pill. But I know is spelled wrong. SOO "Tag you're it" is the meaning-when someone phones ya and you say tegument- meaning your should call me back
Tegument is one of those inane arguments between children (usually) that goes something like:
"You're stupid."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Mom!!"
Essentially an argument for the sake of arguing, with no basis in logic or reasoning.
Tegument is a form of communion in the gnathic religion. It involves placing a small piece of candy bar in the middle of your forehead then eating it in tiny bites.
Tegument is when you mean to say one thing, but another things comes out. Instead of saying to your enormous Aunt Betty, "You look lovely in that dress," you say, "Aunt Betty, you look enormous in that lovely dress."
tegument is the metal loop that attaches a tetherball to the rope. "Junior high students develop tegumitis when playing tetherball and repeatedly knocking their wrists against the tegument."
