Word Of the Day - March 6 2014

I �ve been chosen by Douglas so it �s my turn to give you the WOD!
so your word is "Dumbledore" :) i �ve just discovered it �s an actual word - and no it �s not the Headmaster of Hogwarts, although J K Rowling must surely have been inspired by its meaning when choosing it as the name of one of her main characters...
so here you are, be creative and find the best definition possible!
i �ll pick the winner tomorrow!

I actually know what it is, so I won �t be playing, but it will be so much fun to see what people create. Good choice! |

Mariya-ye maybe you don �t understand the purpose of this post, so let me explain...
this is a game, I gave you a word "dumbledore", people who want to play have to guess its definition - the point is guessing, not going on google and finding the REAL definition...
for example: http://eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=44601
so what do you think "dumbledore" means?
BTW Anita, you can still play ;)

He �s the local hobo who comes to your door and asks "dumbledore?" every spring. As a way to earn money he can either help you with your spring cleaning (dumping your trash) or clean the outside or your home (of course, the doors) for a small fee.
Something like at halloween "trick or treat!"
