Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.

Insufflation
Insufflation is simply breathing on or into something. In a slightly more bizarre sense, it can also refer to breathing on someone as part of an exorcism. Great invented meanings, by the way. Today's winner on the poll was suggested by Thinks! Great work, again.
Insufflation is a rarely used medical term for a condition that causes the body of a Diabetic to inflate the components of Insulin to react in a stronger way than normal.
Insufflation is murder by a type of suffocation when instead of smothering the victim, air is pumped into them by means of a bellows until they explode.
Thanks for all the fun you've given us this year. Happy Christmas. Lorenzo xx
Two positive objectives can be realised by insufflation. You can reduce your carbon footprint whilst at the same time ridding your world of people you can't stand. Insufflation -a method of insulating your loft by gradually filling it with all those insufferable people you meet during your lifetime. My loft is almost fully insufflated with politicians, estate agents and car salesmen.

Do you mean Inns of Elation? Like Motel-No-Tell? Insufflation; that is when cows pass gas. Bessy, our old milk cow suffers terribly from insufflation. Merry Christmas from California!
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.
I am a children's author who has had a handful of books published by trade publishers. They're in book shops and libraries. I've also had a sackful of books published by educational publishers. These are mainly found in schools. I love words and that's why I invented this blog site.

Insufflation is a problem that would get you a right shouting at by Gordon Ramsay. It's simply the failure of your souffle to rise.
Insufflation is when a person is unwrapping a present so quickly and eagerly that they become a blur of flying wrapping paper.

It's when currency gains value --the opposite of inflation. The consequence is that everyone lives better and has more.
Insufflation is what happens to the audience of a long-winded speaker.
