Nonage is a time of immaturity or being under the legal age. As predicted, the invented meanings for nonage were far more spectacular. I couldn't pick between two winners today - so congratulations to Hey Jude and Dog Mum. I hope you don't mind sharing the accolade! Here are their excellent entries which made me giggle out loud...
Hey Jude said...Nonage is the age, or state you enter when you become a grandmother. Grandfathers enter the state of popage.
Dog Mum said...Nonage is what you have when you don't have a cleavage.
Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.
