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.

Neuroma; more commonly known as wanderlust. Where a person cannot settle down to live in any one place. The love of travel. Captain Kirk suffered from neuroma.
I believe a neuroma is an enlargement of the brain caused by excessive reading. The condition in itself is harmless, as I am sure most word imps will be glad to hear, but side effects can include frustration, annoyance and remembering facts of dubious utility.
Crikey, Word Imp, another one I actaully know! But here goes.......
Neuroma (Noy - roma) is a chain of Pizza Restaurants established in Germany in 2007. They had plans to sell franchises in other countries in the EU, but the recent recession put these plans on hold. However, with the recession almost officially over, Neuroma's will soon be springing up all over Europe.
Pronounced NEURO- MAR, a neuroma is a frantic, weird mother who keeps chasing her children all over the place.
Imagined odor. My wife refuses to acknowledge her neuroma around diapers. She insists there's nothing wrong with the smell, and, furthermore, I'm the one with the neuroma because nothing smells THAT bad.
It sounds like a curry found in Rome.
