The W.O.D. for Wednesday (15.12.10)

I don �t believe! I did it again! Thank you a lot! I feel really honored.
Well, let me suggest the word colposinquanonia. What might it mean to you?
All of you already know the rules, no dictionary definitions. Come up with as crazy and weird daffy-nitions as you �re capable of!!! Looking forward to your creative contributions.
(By the way: A couple of hours ago I tried to connect to the site, but I �ve got "Service not available" or smth. time after time. Oh my, that was a shock!!! What was it? Smb. experienced it too? Did it happen before?)

Mmmmm. ....
colposinquanonia
The way I read is....colposin= tribe/people
quanonia= sounds like the greek word:(koinonia=community)
therefore... the quanonia of the colposin people...  .....the colposin community
OR....
The Colposin Canyon.....
Don�t ask where it is.....  ....
Have a Nice Day

This one �s easy...colposinquanonia.. colpo=culpa=quilt or guilty, sin=a moral evil, quononia=kononia= communion. The fear of feeling quilty of committing the sin of not participating in the holy communion. It �s a Catholic thing. |

Wow! I think this can be the name given to a plant (col = cabbage) cooked when you might get a girl (posi = por si = just in case) (quanonia = quasi hi ha noia= there is nearly a girl). So, men can boil this plant and make a tea to gather strength. Or is it just in case it is col(d)?

col - sounds the same as call
Po - the red Teletubby
sin(a) qua non - essential condition
ia - suffix indicating a disease or pathological condition
So colposinquanonia is obviously a compulsion to call Po on the telephone. This condition is most problematic in toddlers. |
