Improbable Dictionary Game

[Wycoval]

On another board I used to go to, we had a thread where people would give definitions for new words and it was a lot of fun.

The rules are:
1) Create a clever definition for the word given by the previous poster and use it in a sentence,
2) Give a word for the next person to define (try to make it sound like an English word).

As an example, one of my favorites was: (From previous poster) caperick

cape·rick /"kEip.r\Ik/- a person, usu. male, who is characterized by his unsuccessful attempts to create new fashion trends.

"There goes that caperick, Lowell in his orange corduroy jodhpurs again."

Another great example was: jeach[font=Hoefler Text, Garamond, Georgia, Tahoma]

jeach /dZi:x/ (Chiefly Scot.) n. an imaginary line around the waist that a dress kilt may not go past or below if it is to be worn correctly.

"Jings Hamish! Ye'll hae te pool yer kilt' doon a bit', hit's completely covering yer jeach!"[/font]

And now ... the first word: Wondge

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Won-dge (wîn2dad2?j)l n.
1. A particular quality that attracts; a delightful characteristic.

Wycoval's new threads are always a big hit with the Fab. Forties Friends. Because, he has the natural quality of wondge.

bragalicious

That's so funny! Snarfle is actually the word I made up for the grumbling my 13 old son does under his breath every time he's asked to do something.

bragalicious(brag2-l?sh2õs)adj. When one's culinary delights are so deligious, they merit praise; highly commendable.

Margory, your lambchops are absolutely bragalicious!



Next word: Narga

 

[bvwsmaker]

narga - a completely nonsensical word that one chants to distract the brain until it blurts out the correct word.

Narga ... narga ... narga ... narga ... Michelle Meyrink!!!

(Though for some the trick doesn't work. They end up blurting out the word in the middle of the night! That's known as slapinhead!)

So what's the definition of sumple?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

My 7 year old made up the word Narga...we don't know what it means, but when she says it, it makes her giggle.

Sumple(sîmp2põl) adj. Slang. From the root words; Sumptuous:Of a size or splendor suggesting great expense; lavish. And Ample: Of large or great size, amount, extent, or capacity.

Woman, are you going to eat that whole chicken! Your waistline is more than sumple already!
