New Word of the Day

Come and play, come and play!!

Here is the new word of the day!!

Everyone can join the fun!

For those new to the game:

The idea is to prodvide an alternative meaning for the word.

(NOT the real meaning, some of you have huge vocabularies, some less, some know how to use a dictionary, some know how to search the net. All of us can find out the real meaning of the word fairly easily....)

The idea is to tickle your silly bone, make up an alternative meaning: It can be silly or serious, based on knowledge of other languages, or not be related in any way to anything, just your associative thinking.

Just an excuse to play a bit with language and have some fun..

The word for today is: LIPOGRAM

COME ON, GIVE IT YOUR BEST AND BRING A SMILE TO THE FORUM!

LIPOGRAM: At a boisterous party --- when your lips round into a romantic �O�, telegramming a silent caress across the crowd, to the lips of the love of your life.
