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.

A suffragan is a knitted hood worn under a jacket and hat in very cold places. The closest modern equivalent is a ski mask, but suffragans didn't have face-coverings, because people would wear a scarf over the whole setup.
A 'suffragan' is a husband who has to endure his wife's insistance on owning an Aga cooker because it's a status symbol; even if the kitchen isn't large enough and becomes unbearably hot from the heat produced 24hrs a day.
