Thank you, Pilar, for picking my crazy definition!
Now, here is another word for us to have fun with. Remember, we �re just trying to provide funny/ unusual/ unexpected definitions, not the real one (although I must admit I �ve learnt a lot of new words through this game)!
So, put your thinking caps on! The new Word of the Day is:
brevirostrate
Have fun!
