Hello colleagues. It �s been a while since I �ve been around but it �s nice to see that the games and old friends are still around. Thatnks elderberry for choosing my definition. The new WOD is CONFORMATOR. Please, let �s see your creative and clever definitions. Remember we don �t want the actual definition but one that comes to mind when you read the word. |

A conformater is a mother who suppresses her offsring �s originality and sense of fun. She wants them to fit in and be as dull and boring as the next person �s offspring in the hope that they will get 27 exam passes and become a doctor, a lawyer, or - she will just about accept this - an accountant . |

conform: to do what other people do : to behave in a way that is accepted by most people
-ator: suffix for dinosaurs
conformator-a type of (nerd) dinosaur that always did what the other dinosaurs did even if they disagreed with it. These dinosaurs were characterized by never having their own opinion, always "going with the crowd", and being the most vicious in acts of bullying. Today the remains of many of these dinosaurs are found in the LaBrea Tar Pits (near the L.A. Art Museum) because some other cruel-hearted dinosaur told them that swimming there would make them cool.
"You other dinos are clueless, I �m headed for LaBrea to gain some coolness."
