Word of the Day, winner
 
A short reminder:



Today �s word of the day is
podobromhydrosis

You have one more hour to send in your personal suggestions, then the winner will be declared.

Or, since you seem to be in the playing mood, how about another prolongation game loke Anita started last week...?

edit:
It goes like this:
One person says a word, the next person repeats it and adds ONLY ONE word of his/her own to prolongue a sentence. The sentence can be stopped at any time, and a new one can be started. The key thing is to keep the story going. So if Peter says A, I would say A man, and Sarah would say A man walked... etc. How about it? Up for a challenge???

Not bad, Douglas, anyway, I thought everyone would add one word and it could make up a story. Or a biblical nnsense. Or... fun.

Then you realized you ran out of flour. 
"How can I make a cake without flour?"" you said to yourself. " I guess I have to go ask some flour as I don �t feel like shopping today."
You felt that way because you had some podobrohydrosis - a disease that affects your feet (podo) and can be fixed with . DROSIS is a suffix - it tells us that the previous word is a disease. (also see Hyperhidrosis)
