Today �s word of the day is:
SPONDULICKS
Is it a person? Is it a thing? Is it an activity? Where does this word come from?

Spondulicks obviously describes the behavior of your dog when you get home from work: spontaneous licks. |

My first thought upon seeing this word was x-rated. |

Okay, spondulicks was the original name of Spanx slimwear, but unfortunately a stripper of the same name sued for copyright and they had to change the name lol my mind is in the gutter and it �s going to stay there for this word. |

Perhaps, it �s an advertisement abbreviation of -
A Sponge that dutifully licks your place clean for you.
(That �s my dream, anyway...)

This is a surprisingly common word in Britain in fact.

"Spondoolicks" is extremely common in the UK, as Dawn says.

I �d be grateful, if smb. explained to me the rules of the game (new here):
Are we supposed to be creative and to suggest an original possible meaning for the word, or we should reveal its real meaning and usage (that �s not a problem)? I �m afraid, I�ve misinterpreted the rules...
Thanks a lot!

You have it right Chud--we are looking for "daffynitions" and people are NOT supposed to give the actual definition (anybody can google it).
Be creative, have fun. |

This is easy as only a couple of vowels have been left out.
It should be spoon and due and licks
This word designs a meal or an item of food that people, especially children, love very much and can �t get enough of. Something like chocolate pudding, vanilla ice-cream, raspberry cake or spaghetti with bolognese sauce.
Or spinach for some and fish fingers for others. No not fish fingers, they don �t come in a pot.
Kids like it so much that whenever their mother isn �t looking they dip their spoons into the pot and lick it to get more. They dip the spoon in because more licks are due.
Mum hates it when they do that and smacks their fingers with selfsame spoon whenever she catches them doing it.
Word in usage: "pudding, ice-cream and such spoonduelicks"
"When I think back to my childhood all those wonderful spoonduelicks
my mother used to cook come to my mind"
Or, title of a cookbook: "Spoonduelicks and other delicacies"
