Thank you, mohamedthabet, for selecting me as the Word of the Day winner. (You were very busy this week; you had also won the Caption contest. Good work!) I apologize for the lack of formatting, but I can �t make paragraphs with this browser. So, on to the new Word of the Day:
furciferous . Remember, give a plausible fake definition, not the real one! I �ll decide on a winner on the evening of 3 July server time. I look forward to seeing your definitions! |

Douglas, you are absolutely right, no ignoring the meaning of words...
fur - hair covering the body of non humans
ferrous - containging iron
I don �t understand, however, how you - with your extensive knowledge - missed the obvious...
