I still do not know how to make this post stay on the forum for the time allowed for contestants to participate... Therefore, I post it again, but I promise this is the last time.
So, here it is again...
Dithyrambic.
Thus, according to �lodie who declared me the winner of the last WOD post, here is what you have to do:
Try to define its meaning in the wittiest, most comical, or most stupid way. If you know what it means, don�t tell us, please, but give us a silly definition of it, instead.
Remember, NO INTERNET, NO DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS � just ideas from your head!
You can also reply to a previous post...
May the wittiest win!

Here �s my "daffynition":
di - two
thyr - pertaining to the thyroid gland
ambic - using either of two (such as ambidextrous, two right hands)
So by this "logic," dithyrambic means pertaining to both sides of the thyroid gland.
Not the wittiest, but I �m a relative newbie to this. |

rambic must be referring to RAMBO, "dithy" is an ancient word used to indicate someone that is a little crazy at times. Therfore, dithyrambic is a crazy person that runs round in a headband trying to rescue innocent bystanders that don �t infact need rescuing! |

di - two
thy - relating to the thyroid
rambic - relating to the character "Rambo" from the movie series of Sylvester Stallone
Then the meaning of "dithyrambic" is two thyroids of great power and large size (as Rambo �s neck is rather large and powerful).
