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.

You've heard of Novocaine? Well Novercal is used to numb the pain in your head that comes from too much calculus.
Novercal is the proposed new "Metric" calendar, designed by a European committee. The idea is to simplify the existing calendar by having ten months, each of 36 days, with a "non day" being inserted every 2 months. Nothing happens on non-days, since they're not official calendar days. All days will have 10 hours, each with 100 minutes and 100 seconds. If anything does happen on a non-day then it will be deemed to have happened the next day, but using negative time values. Every 4 years will be a "leap year" where an extra non-day is inserted before the first day of the second month - except of course on years divisible by 100 but not by 400.
It's so simple, that the comittee members were amazed when no-one rushed to support their proposal.
Well, there's always someone looking for a new superlative in the english language and in order to outdo 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' it had to go nova as in 'novercalifragilisticexpialidocious' or 'novercal' for short. Of course we're now waiting for 'supernovercalifrag.....etc.

Novercal was a product that emerged briefly last year as a competitor for the particular brand of butter substitute that apparently lowers cholesterol. Novercal claimed to be the only spread with no calories at all, but was hastily removed from the market after causing 6 people to binge eat themselves to death on liverwurst and wine gums.
Oh Magdalene you pinched my idea you ..... ! I'll have to think of something else now. No I won't I'll still do what I was going to do!
Novercal is the trade name of a slimming pill. It is an abreviation of the words not, very many and calories. So there! You take your Novercal and you can eat as much of that nasty butter substitute as you want.

Novercal is the new all singing all dancing toothpaste to hit the market. Not only will it make your teeth whiter, your gums healthier and your smile brighter, it will also strengthen your bones, make your hair glossier and render you instantly attractive to whomever you fancy.
Novercal is a used to numb the pain of hearing about too much weird California-based celebrity news.
Example:
When Kathy read about the latest news of the singing group Hanson, she was pleased. But when she learned of the expoits of Paris, Britany and Lindsay, she quickly called Dr. Moran to ask him for a prescription Novercal.
Novercal (n)- the peculiar accent/speech disorder most people temporarily develop after use of Novicaine. Has different degrees and forms depending on the amount of Novicaine used an where in the mouth it was applied, not to mention how long it has been since it was applied.
