Desperately looking for new players!! WOD

Come on people, we need more people entering the Word of the Day game...

For all of you who love strange words, who like to enlarge their vocabulary, who enjoy playing around with words...No need to be poets or comedians, just share your associations.... any thing goes..

It is really simple, you look at the word and let your thoughts roam free, whatever comes to mind, because of the sound of it, because of words in your mother tongue, whatever. BUT DON �T POST THE REAL DEFINITION!! The idea is to make up a new meaning...

Here is the new word for today: kakidrosis

and here are some things I learned on the way to choosing a new word:

Angry and hungry are the only two words which end in �gry �

Only the word underground begins and ends with �und �

Uncopyrightable is the longest word without repeating a letter.....

(didn �t check, maybe someone differs?)

Kakidrosis....Drosis has to do with water or liquid...Kaki is another word for poop. Kakidrosis therefore is another word for the runs, that condition you get when you eat a bad burrito and can �t get off the porcelain throne for three days straight. Example: Guillermo ate a spoiled egg and has a bad case of kakidrosis.

Kakidrosis can also mean a condition whereby your breath smells like poop (a cousin to halitosis but a great deal more unpleasent).

When Shirley woke up in the morning she had such a bad case of kakidrosis she peeled the wallpaper right off the wall when she exhaled.

I �m SO glad to be back that, even though I �m not very inspired here �s my contribution:

Kaki = caqui = persimmon

drosis = medical symptom

A person with kakidrosis has persimmon looking warts all over his body.

miss K.

this is not plagiarised from edromedina but only shows that "kaki" really means "poop"
"drosis" comes from drowsiness which means "sleepyness"
Kakidrosiness is a medical term denoting the sleepy condition of a person who stepped into a poo produces by an animal which ate too much of mint melisssa and other sedative herbs which also lower blood pressure and altogether they make the person sleepy.

Kakidrosis is a fruit, the very pale type of kaki

which St. Drosis (the daughter of the Roman Emperor Trojan)

used to eat every day in summer and autumn and thanks to her example the simple folk who followed her example was healthy. Hence till now in the Orthodox tradition people call the pale type of kaki (better known as the Japanese Persimmon) �kakidrosis �.

Kakidrosis-

the first part of the word -- kaki in Russian means something noxious, rank.

drosis sounds like abmbrosia to me which is definitly has an opposite meaning and is considered to be the food for Gods. So if we combine all together we �ll get Shawshank redemption.

kaki in French is a nuance of green

dro may be the beginning of dromadory

sis may be the beginning of sister

So kakidrosis means

the wonderful and kind dromadory �s sister which always wears kaki clothes...

Mothers like their newborn babies very much especially if they were looking forward to having a baby for many years.

They appreciate at the baby �s first smile, first cry , first sleep.

Even they like the first shit on the diaper.

The first shit that the newborn baby "created" is called KAKIDROSIS in my language ( it is a big lie :)) ) It means "the roses of kid"....It smells like roses for the mum

It is a compound word, but changed a litte through the years.

KAKI : It means shit in Turkish. In fact it is "kaka" but the little children say in this way "kaki"

KID : you already know it :) child

ROSIS : it was ROSES but years didn �t behave well to this word so it became ROSIS.

SO It means "the roses of the kid"....
