Limbate
Limbate is a botanical or biological term which describes something with a distinct border. I've seen leaves like that. Now I'll be able to describe them correctly and wow my friends on garden rambles... Anyway, back to reality. Thanks for a wide variety of interesting meanings for limbate. I just thought of another one - someone who can't think of the last line for a limerick! However, it's too late. The winner's been chosen and it's Bee. Thanks for your wonderful invented meaning, Bee.

A limbate (n) is a debate in which the losing side gets bombarded with citrus fruits.
Limbates are more common in warmer countries, possibly because said fruits are more plentiful. However, some limbate experts argue that the passionate, hot-headed temperament found in these countries also contributes to limbate popularity. This delicate point has not been discussed in much depth for fear that it too will degenerate into an uncontrolled limbate.
The original draft of Chris Stewart's 'Driving Over Lemons' did in fact include a couple of limbate anecdotes that were pulled by the publisher after a trial print run of 1,000 copies. It was thought that readers in cooler climes would not be able to relate to them. Should anyone be fortunate enought to lay their hands on one, these rare copies are now worth a small fortune.

The printing is so small that you cannot read the fact and the rebate is limited to the first 10 respondents only. It is a new marketing ploy designed to separate us in a new and unscrupulous way from our hard earned cash.
Limbate - Consumed an arm or a leg.

Limbate (a Spanish word pronounced as leem-baa-teh) is the style of painting buildings typical in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as other places where there is Spanish Colonial architecture. Buildings painted limbate style are done in bright colors such as lime green, coral, and turquoise, with all the edges and doorframes painted white. Click below to see an example of the limbate style.

Limbate is a kind of flip in gymnastics, performed while juggling eight limes above your head. Eventually you throw the limes in the air and they fall straight down; you swallow them whole, peels and all. Unfortunately this trick has caused the tragic deaths of several overly ambitious gymnasts--it is now illegal. Scientists suspect that this ancient term comes from the words "ate" and "lime", as the gymnast ends up eating the limes: literally. (It can also be performed juggling glass bottles of limeade, but this is quite a bit more advanced.) Pronounced "LIME-ATE"
