Word of The Day contest WINNER
|
By tradition any game has an end, and at the end there must be one winner and only one! And by tradition too, not necessarily the winner of a game is the best of all.
Thanks to all the participants for their talented definitions. You have given varied interpretations to the word valetudinarian
and at a certain moment each one of you succeeded to make me suspect that his/her definition is what the word actually means. ed, sarguero, and isa2 ,you three agreed that the word refers to a (valet) but you identified him serving his customers in different places. As for mohamedthabet and douglas they used a selective method of which parts in the word they need to come up with a witty definition.
Frankly speaking, you have made it a difficult task for me to choose the winner. Your play on words were all creative and entertaining, but I have to choose just one of you ,and the winner is ed . So ed go ahead and choose another word.

By the way valetudinarian means sb who pays excessive attention to preserving his health.
