Hello again.
MarionG �s reply to Ed got me worried. I �m new here - I registered 2 days ago. I know dippoldism is no laughing matter, but I assumed, when I read the other replies, that we were supposed to deconstruct the word and play with it, linguistically speaking. Now I feel bad for playing with such a serious matter. Did I misunderstand de purpose of the challenge?  |

@sandra...yes the point is to deconstruct the word...Maybe a poor choice of a word..But it exists and I thought we could make lemonade from a lemon. I apologize if the word has upset anyone.
Edit. Whoa...I looked up the word again ...and the definition I got this time is not waht I got when I first looked up weird words....My apologies to everyone....I am extremely embarassed |

 very funny Ed
well, this one is tough...I have never seen this word before but here is my daffynition.
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called "Perfectopia". People were smart and beautiful and young. Anyone who was idiot and old was sentenced to dippoldism (drowning)
Dip (plunge) dippo (stupid) old (old) ism (suffix for an act or practice)
