Word of the Day game needs some fresh blood...

Word of the Day game needs some fresh blood...
 
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?)
 
Here are the entries from this afternoon:
(excited to see some new names)

Off the top of my head, how about �underfund �?

alright, osis means disease or illness. Kid is a human child or a baby goat. So kakidrosis is an allergy to young livestock? My brain is mush.
