Estovers
Estovers are necessary supplies allowed for by law. Alimony for a spouse would be considered as estovers. The dictonary explains other examples for those with a need to know. All sorts of interesting invented options appeared on the blog today, with the offering of Oso Butterfly taking a large number of votes to top the poll. Well done, OB.

Estovers is a sub-section of the Vitamin C family that is only found in cockroaches.
Estovers:
People that celebrate Easter by going drinking and wake up with hang-overs.
people in ontario (central canada) call relatives and friends from the maritimes (eastern canada) who come to stay "estovers".
i better get the sheets and towels washed ~ the estovers are arriving tomorrow!
Estovers are an Estonian delicacy. These fried eggs are flipped 3 times while cooking, and each time into butter mixed with a different seasoning. They're available in most Estonian restaurants, but are much more expensive than regular eggs because they require the use of 3 different frying pans.
Estovers are the unexpected sleepovers.
Jim had too much to drink, so Steve and his wife insisted that he estover so he could sleep it off rather than drive home.
Persons whose culinary prowess depends on the internet.
eg: When solar flares disrupted the network, my estover neighbour was crushed. "Months of labour researching chocolate tiramisu were wasted," she moaned.
It's a mathematical measurement of the number of steps that could be travelled in one go by a Slinky.
By the way I'd like to thank (as I'm shaking my fist at you) everyone who brought up Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday cuz that's all I was singing the whole day!
There's nothing worse than a deep voice trying to reach those notes!
At least that's what the kept telling me because I think I have the voice of an angel...
Estovers are overpasses that run from east to west.
Estovers are those aficionados who still doggedly follow the career of Gloria Estefan even though most of us have long moved on.
Estovers is a legal term for the mitigating circumstances that the situation the accused found themselves in was just too tempting.
The term derives from the French "Est Oeuvert", because it was first used by a prisoner who argued that because his cell door was left open he couldn't reasonably have been expected not to escape.
Someone who found a pot of black paint and a brush next to a poster of (say) Gloria Estefan would plead "Guilty with Estovers" of painting a beard and glasses on her.
In the circle of professional psychiatrists, estovers is a term used to describe woman who suffer from an irrational fear of menapause. Estovers often feign symptoms in order to get their doctors to prescribe them large doses of estrogen.
"Dr. Phil, Harriet Lint is here for her appointment. She says that she knows for sure this time that the change of life is upon her."
" Oh, she is such an estover. Go find me a placebo I can give her !!"..."I should have been a pediatrist" Dr. Phil mutters to himself.
Estovers are the "chemistry projects" that grow in a person's refrigerator. Estovers occur when a person puts food in the fridge and forgets about it. Pretty disgusting, but it happens to the best of us.
(Shhhh! I think tomorrow is our WordImp Leader's birthday, everybody.)
The Estover Fellowship was started in 1991 by disillusioned and confused followers of the popular EST Movement of the 1970's. The fellowship uses a 13 Step Program, with emphasis on sifting through the varied psycho-mish mash that left members dazed, wandering, and muttering, "I get it", "I get it."
Unable to "cause life instead of just living it", many were left with a profound sense that life had "hit them up 'side the head." To this day, in meetings all over the city of San Francisco, men & women untangle the existential, motivational, positive psycho-cybernetic, diazenic, mind-blowing fuzz in their brains.
The first cleansing step on the road to recovery is finding the courage to stand up and say--"I...I.....am......an estover!"
Estovers are the lengths of thread that dangle from the ends of an unfinished afgan
The tail end of the estes cycle of mammals in the wild.
Happy birthday to Wordimp, Happy birthday to Wordimp, Happy birthday to Wordimp, Happy birthday to you!

Happy Birthday WordImp.
Love Lorenzo!
Estovers are migratory geese, small, pale green in colour and possessing no directional homing instict. They frequently fly in the opposite direction to other types such as Canada geese and are occasionally seen attempting to rest in dove cotes.

Estovers- people who participate in the online buzz...cooking online on e-stoves.
"I made the most amazing souffle the other day it is too bad I am a estover and can never taste how good it is."
estover is the concept of faxing (or possibly even e-mailing) something that is patently not faxable:
I'm waiting for the day when they finally perfect estover, so that you can fax me a grilled cheese sandwich on days when I have to work late!
p.s. happy birthday!
Estovers are those little bits of food which sometimes adhere to the chin and corners of the mouth when eating. Usually no one has the nerve to mention it to the estovee, thus causing severe social embarrassment.
Estover (n)- a person who believes them self to be higher, more worthy, more special, etc. than others. Basically, someone who looks down their nose at people.
