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.

About Me
- Word Imp
- 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.

Once you've gone through the stages of feeling a bit full in the bladder, followed by crossing your legs tightly, through hopping from one leg to the other, you finally reach the tremellose phase where your legs start to tremble. If you don't find a toilet in the next 60 seconds, all human dignity will be lost.
'Having drunk 10 pints of lager, Eric reached the tremellose stage of his evening and was gone from the table for a full twenty minutes.'

In the 1960's (sorry kids) it was popular to name your group (i.e. band - but in the 60's a band involved an element of brass)after a part of your equipment. Hence - Brian Poole and the Tremellose. (There were also groups such as Jessie and the G-strings, Adam and the Amps, and probably Charlie and the Knobs, Fredie and the Frets).
I think this might be a good name for a place to which cult members retreat to await the End of the World, Second Coming, Great Alien Invasion or similar.
(PS. Happy New Year, everyone!)
To tremellose is to tremble when you loose some thing.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A GREAT ONE IN 2008!!!!!

Tremellose is the unfortunate state in which many of find ourselves at this time of year... very full of sugar!
Tremellose describes the irritating habit modern-day pop sopranos have of not holding the power note, but instead of using vibrato to diminish its effect.
The American Idol contestant might not have been voted off if she'd been less tremellose, Simon Cowell said.
Happy New Year!
