Word of the Day Dec. 6th
|
I was declared winner of the WOD a couple of days ago.
Shame on me, I forgot about it for two days. But since lately there were not so many entries in this charming competition, maybe a break wasn �t such a bad thing.
But here we go again.
Today �s word is
pampiniform
Now up to you to find definitions for this word.
Remember:
We �re not interested in finding the real definition, but creative, interesting ones that MIGHT be true but might be crazy, too.

It �s what I �m about to do....I am flying to Holland to visit my my parents tomorrow. After a few gruelling weeks in shool I am totally exhausted both physically and mentally and now I am going to let myself be spoilt by my mom, feast on good cheese, wine, chocolates, sleep late..
...in short I am going to let myself be pampered until I �m back in shape = pampiniform |

Pampiniform actually means:
convoluted and like a tendril �used of a venous plexus associated with the spermatic or ovarian veins
(get it? I don �t , really, too difficult)
I much prefer MarinG �s definition, maybe becaue I feel like being pampered a bit, too, but expect three children over Christmas who expect to be pampered back into shape ....
Up to you, Marion, to choose the next word !!
