WORD OF THE DAY -
|
Hi everyone!
sorry for posting this message so late, but it �s Saturday and I had decided not to wake up... and I didn �t know I had won...
anyway let �s play our word of the day game:
today �s word is gadzooks
remember, do not use a dictionary/google, try to find your own definition, the funniest will have the chance to choose tomorrow �s word of the day.
have a great day!!!
Elodie
P.S.: for newbies, if you know what this word means, try not to put the real definition, but make a few funny sentences to explain what it means!!!

Morning,
Gadzooks = Modern adaptation of God rules! , mainly used by happy nuns.
Gad : God
Zooks : zouks = Style of dance music.
Eg : "Gadzooks!" said the nun going to church.

For me the word sounds like Japanese but I don�t have a clue what it might mean...

gad (wander) + ZOO + ok + s (plural form)
gadzooks - people who gad about ZOO all day long and think it is really ok (in fact, it is not and they need a help of specialist - gadzooker) |

Oh! That �s nice: for this rainy-cold-indoors-activity-wanting weekend, Elodie has come up with a good old indoor-rainy-day-game! How thoughtful of you dear :o))
Gadzooks =It �s the name of this game, known for centuries
GAD = Give me a �D �
zooks = an old mix of �zoo � and �seek �
When it is raining hard outside, sitting by the fire, nobody wants to read anymore, you often take up this game, very simply:
- One person cries out "Give me a �D � "
-Everybody round starts to look for vocabulary words starting with a �D � designing an animal.
Example: �Daredevil � �Droopy � �Daisy � �dragon � ....
-The great difficulty of this game is to provide proof your animal doesn �t exist in the local zoo. |
