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.

Benzonian; more commonly known as the Benzonian Devil, lurks behind the pumps in filling stations. He is the one responsible for the pump nozzle clicking off every 2 seconds so that it takes half an hour to fill your fuel tank.
The best remedy I've found is to stick your tongue out, run around the forecourt with your thumbs in your ears whilst waggling your fingers for a few minutes. This seems to scare him away - and most of the other customers too!

A bezonian is a person who attracts bees.
It's a term from chemistry/geology. When a rock forms crystals that are long and keep growing lengthwise, instead of being a smaller, finished shape, that's a bezonian crystal.
Bezonian is an epoch of geological time.
In the bezonian epoch, the Earth was still dominated by dinosaurs, predominately flying dinosaurs who gathered spores from ferns.
