Loment
A loment is a pod which, when it's mature, breaks into separate parts each containing one seed. Fascinating. I can't give you an example sorry. Perhaps the scientific word imps could enlighten us further. Thanks for your whimsical invented meanings for loment. The poll winners were The Dancer and Stephen. Well done, you two.

A loment is the biblical version of one of those surprise moments when an occurrence or thought suddenly strikes you.
'And Lo! The legless man got up and walked, for he had sobered up when smote upon the forehead.' A lomentable event, no doubt!

It's a contraction of two words: "low moment". It could be failing your driving test; the soufflé that comes out of the oven and promptly sinks; taking your girlfriend to your mate's party and the first person she sees is his girl wearing an identical dress. Life is full of such inconsequential little loments.
Loment is fertilizer made from lake or ocean sludge.
Loment is the soft mooing sound a cow makes to her new born calf as it sleeps next to her.
Okay... it was a spur of the moment guess LOL
A loment is a is like saying " just a second!" As you can see a loment is smaller than a minute.
Yesterday I asked my mom to help me but in stead she said " just a loment, I am picking up the kichen".
Just a statement about using this word. Use it wisely, don't lie, actualy be there in less than a minute.
Loment?
Oh,loment. That is funny, me and my mom were just talking about the loment earlier today!
The loment is the amount of water in your body. No, not the amount of water in your skin, the amount of water in your intestines. When thte level of your loment reaches its highest, sometimes you can swell up or other times you have to go to the hospital! Lucky for me, that has never happened. And I hope it never happens to you!
A loment is a lament that is not very loud. Just the thing for those times when the world doesn't really need to know.

In the 19th century, loment was also known as "lo mint" and the dregs of society believed it was of French origin. Because "lo mint" was popular among the illiterate, it was commonly misspelled "loment" --hence the confusion about it's spelling and pronouciation. As you can imagine, it is not actually of French origin. It was engineered in a Canadian laboratory to be a hybrid of spearmint and peppermint. Today it is known as "double mint" and it is still popular among prostitutes, drunkards and the mentally challenged.
