Fealty
The real meaning for fealty is tricky but I'll give it a go. It's the acknowledgement made by a feudal tenant of fidelity to his lord. I hope that makes sense. If not, check out your own dictionary for further clarification. Something old fashioned anyway. I loved the variety of invented meanings on the blog today. And I always enjoy the meanings which manage to bring in the word imp family in some form or another. The voters agreed, so it's congratulations to Auntibeck for her amusing invented meaning. Great work, Auntibeck.

Here's my definition:
Fealty, pronounced Fe-al-ty, is the pretense of productivity before your computer while at work. Keeping your Excel, Word, and various work systems open, open but minimize WordImp and fellow Impers various blogs. While all systems are open and ready, develop a keen and watchful peripheral vision in order to sense an approaching supervisor or tattle-tale co-worker, and bounce back and forth throughout your day in order to see how "Herding Cats" or BrianOVretanos, or the ever delightful LooniLidi are doing when selected for the favourite word of the day.
"Judi became an expert fealtor at her work, until one day she let down her guard. Fellow impers bagan to miss her daily missives."
Fealty - Well, I'm afraid I think this means ugliness. Cinderella's sisters were blighted with fealty, and would never have won the handsome prince's affections.

A fealty is a man or boy that is genderly confused that he's a girl .
However they are often seen in public places, such as a store, with long hair and wierd walking.( I know ,sometimes it's scary).
A fealty is a legendary fairy creature who takes great delight in cheeky and bawdy behaviour such as surprise bottom pinching, bra strap twanging and the like. Many an innocent man has had his face slapped when it was really a fealty at play.
Since I know what this word means I'll only comment for Auntibeck that as long as they don't ever change out my computer from a glossy screen to non-reflective one, I'll be able to see anyone approaching from behind.
Fealty is a term coined by American economists used to describe an intangible asset, for example rights to a song or a novel, which nevertheless may be worth a lot of money. [Derived from Fee + realty]
A fealty is the part of a medicine bottle that says how much to take. In fact early this morning I walked right by a fealty.
Fealty is the stolen property you take home from vacations. Sand, stones, shells, lava rocks, colorful leaves, dead butterflies, and petrified wood are all the stolen realty belonging to the foreign countries you've visited and brought home, because it made you feel good to see it, and remember your vacation.
Someday the Lord of the land will visit you and require his fealty. ;-)
Boyeee, does Pastor Phil have it right or what?!!!!
Fealty is the business of selling undeveloped land, as opposed to realty, which is selling
"improved" (built upon) land. There are no Feal Estate agents anymore; since there's not enough open space to support a business that sells it exclusively.
Loved Pastor Phil's definition - pity it's not correct as Fealty is the next stage after Virtual Reality. With Fealty all the senses are involved. Can't you just smell those Viking films - Ugh!
Fealty (n)- the ability to know what others are feeling or thinking, often through behavior. A rare skill indeed. Very useful for those in positions of power. It can also be acquired through hard study and experience.
