Viviparous

Viviparous is a zoological term referring to those who give birth to live young as opposed to laying an egg which hatches later. I guess that makes me viviparous. If only I could pronounce it correctly! Your invented meanings were well written and fun to read, with Judi's being the deserved winner on the poll. Great work, Judi.

Viviparous (n) Lively, active, extrovert. A vivaparous person is one who is the life and soul of the party - the sort of person it is great to be with but hell to live with.

Just want to apologize for my prolonged absence. I'll be back soon. I'm tired of missing all the fun!

A Viviparous is a mammal that lives on the Isle of Ablad. The Viviparous is a close relative of the Tasmanian Devil but it is 10 times wilder and more vicious than said Devil. After breeding in the early spring in the rocky caves the Viviparous shreik loudly and rip out each others hair.
Their favorite meal is American Tourister luggage and American tourists.

Viviparous - to be obsessed with meeting the rich and famous. Truly viviparous people spend hours waiting outside in all weathers to spot VIPs at film premieres, restaurants, nightclubs etc. Lazy viviparous people just read OK magazine.

Rather sadly, a viviparous person is one who stays indoors and talks to themselves. A sort of claustrophobic chatterbox. Perhaps a lonely old lady. (Origin: Vivi - live and parlar - talk)

Vivaparous are screeching sounds that come from a cave of starving bats.
