Caudle
Mmmm. Caudle sounds rather delicious. It's a warm gruel which includes spice, sugar and wine which is given to invalids and new mothers. Sounds great. Your invented meanings for caudle were just as delightful. The voters agreed that the meaning created by aandthirtyeights was a stand out. I agree. Well done!

Caudle (n.) - specialised tool for removing the wick from a candle so no one else could light it. Invented in the 1800's to prevent waste of energy through people "leaving the light on". (Fore-runner to leaving devices on stand-by.)

To caudle is to do too many things at once, which is a step above multi-tasking. Caudling results in things getting ruined or spoiled.

I ended up burning the chicken, dropping the baby, spilling the snack, and accidentally hanging up on the minister. I do not reccomend caudling.
