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.

Inventions that never caught on #542:
Rotifer - This was a 60's invention - the idea was to shape a suitcase like a wheel which the traveller could then push around (a spherical version was also produced).
Due to the obvious drawbacks - clothes looked like they'd just come out of a washing machine (or Word Imp's "rotifer"), chaos caused by passengers at airports chasing their runaway luggage, etc, this idea never took off...
A rotifer is a portable printing press, meant to be taken on rallies to print flyers and posters as needed.
Nice word! A rotifer is a sort of woodpecker which makes holes rotating very quickly.
Rotifer - the unholy offspring of a Rottweiler and a Gopher. The ferocious digging that ensues onces a Rotifer enters your yard is devastating.

Rotifer is the sort degeneration that occurs with fur if it is not properly stored or treated with the product that was advertised on that infomercial at 3:00 this morning. Operators are still standing by to take your orders.
A rotifer was originally a person who was employed at or frequently attended the Rotifington Theatre in London, a place once known for its bizarre and humorous plays. Eventually the term came to be applied to any person who liked that type of humor, or even to any practical joker.
Example: "Well, the kitchen sink is full of frogs again, I wish I could find the rotifer who keeps doing this."

And it's pink.
That subterranean layer of liquid, similar to the aquafor, formed in some rural areas by years of sewage dumping by Roto-rooter trucks. It's no laughing matter to live near one.

Well, you get my drift.
Rotifer - A growth often found on the ear lobes of people who eavesdrop -- formed by specialized eavesdropping bacteria (which is airborne and can survive under the most extreme conditions -- so be careful.)
Example:
Gregor's grandmother often warned him that he would grow a massive Rotifer on his ear if he didn't control his habit of listening in on others' private conversations.
To bea n. random...if you think you've seen the Rotifer Gopher go wild in an average yard...you should visit certain areas in Kentucky and see what they do around a rotifer layer. It's ugly!

Rotifer: From the french for roasted (roti) and iron (fer), it's any red meat roasted by a french person, in a french oven (very different from a dutch oven!), in a french place. It is always served with dijon mustard and bordeaux wine sauce.
A rotifer is an evergreen tree that spreads by root saplings, rather than by seeds from pine cones. In some evergreen stands there are coniferous trees and rotiferous trees.
