Well, well, well, we had some great submissions for a spooky word! SCHWA. The winner is MANUHK whose definition is this: something really naff. LIked it! And the real meaning? Er... I forgot, how schwa is that! Need to google it! Ah, right. It �s the unstressed vowel between............. Hey, well done Manuhk and over to you! |

Now if only we can get a definition of "naff"...methinks the British love runs too deep for American English followers to have a shot :-P |

Hi leaponover, well, (love the avatar!) I wouldn �t like to have to give a definition of naff. Tbh, it �s going out of the language a bit, but I don �t know what �s replacing it. In the past, maybe gauche, maladroit. I �ve just googled it and the best definition is uncool, but it doesn �t quite do it justice.... Isn �t English wonderful? |
