WORD OF the day
 
Lo and behold, I won twice! You like me, you really like me! So this is what it �s like to be popular. Let me enjoy this for a minute...okay, minute �s up. Thank you to vikii and the other guy who voted for me. The word of the day is "CALIPASH", one of my favorite words. Remember to follow the rules and don �t be a cheater pants. Make up your own definition. Tomorrow I �ll choose the definition closest to the right answer or the one that makes me laugh the most. Okay, go!

It is a sort of a wet, drooling kiss performed in a very Californian style (= naked)
Californian kiss: CA - LIP- PASH (pash = Australian slang for a tongue kiss)

It �s my first attempt, so pls have mercy on me!

Hugs,

Ha ha - in line with Gabbitza�s Ozzie slang definition for pash it�s a high school schoolyard code word for watching Ali(son) pash with her boyfriend in the out of bounds area of the school ground. 
 
calipash = see Ali pash
