An emblement is a decoration on a Christmas cake, for example silver balls or 'hundreds and thousands' arranged into a design. Very popular in Victorian times, it's a pity the word has fallen out of use. I will buy a Christmas cake this year but I will surely add my own embelment.

To emblement is to embolden someone while not necessarily being emboldened yourself. This lets the person act in your place, assuming any consequences of the action taken.

Emblement is the vetenary term for a hairball.

Back in the years of 1567-1600 the word emblement meant 'stupid'. Honestly, I don't know why they were so scarred to say that but if they did, they could be hung or beheaded ! It is not even that bad of a word.
for example:
" mom that peetty coat you got me is emblement".
oops, I meant to say petty coat not peetty coat. Sorry!
Emblement is the correct term for the decorative bits on an apartment block. You know, like those silly coloured 'porthole' windows you see, or even just the big grey decorative blocks I stare at on the office block across from me.
An emblement is the raised bump on the J and F computer keys.

"After gathering for a 5 o'clock early bird sale and clubbing 3 other housewives to get to her Wii, mom suffered a major emblement in the check-out line when someone cut in front of her!"
Emblement is the word for the re-arranging of furniture.
for example, yesterday I decided to move my sofa to the other side of the room. Of course, this meant I had to move my chair and lamp, and then the tv was facing the wrong way too. So, you can see that while it started out innocently, it eventually turned into a major emblement.
Thought you might also be interested to know that a person who forgets that they moved their furniture around and bumps into it in the dark is said to have emblementia.
Ha! I dare that definition to be right!
