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

- 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.

Gingili is a pattern made by frost crystals or by ice crystals between branches, when you can see or feel it, but it melts on contact. On winter morning I walked between trees and felt the frost tinkly breaking on my face, but I couldn't even see it. That was gingili.
Gingili is the artist's charcoal sketch drawn on the canvas prior to applying paint. "Rembrandt sketched ever so gingili his interpretation of the woman in her bath."
Gingili is the Ukranian term for Santa's sleigh bells.
Gingili is the chocolate drizzle on the dessert plate at fancy restaurants.

Gingili is a cricket stroke, first performed by an Indian cricketer in 1968, called Rajivi Gingili. Because Rajivi didn't manage to extend his cricket career beyond playing for the New Delhi over 35-team, it is not particularly well known or copied by other players.
Gingili is a particular form of handbell ringing. It involves seven ringers, using alternate left and right hands and ending the peal in unison.
