Join the game!! Define the WORD of the day!

Last chance to join the word of the day for today!!
Since Sunday is a working day here, I �ll be checking in later and choose who needs to give the next word.
In case you are new to this game (and we would love some new people joining the game!!): The idea is to provide a new definition for the word. Not the real definition (we can all look it up, and some of us may even know the word), rather a definition you make up on the spot, using your associative thinking, your wit, your creativity and of course your knowledge of English and other languages. The wackier the better...... All musings are welcome. The one giving the best �daffy-nition � is chosen to provide the next word.
Since I love to enrich our practical vocabulary, I try to find words we might actually use...So here it goes, the word for today is:
obstreperous
have fun |

it �s easy - somebody trembling with �stagefright � before the big exam...
e.g. I was so obstreperous before my driving test that my socks kept falling down and I was afraid they �d get tangled in the gas pedal... |
