							Hello Friends, 
   
The newest Word of the Day (WOD) is:  
  
     jettatura 
  
Please come up with a creative, wacky definiton and don�t give any dictionary or internet definitions.  The idea of the game is to have fun and stir-up creativity. 
  
Have fun, 
Douglas 
  
  
  
Yesterday�s word was : 
  
Pudify: to cause to be ashamed ---thanks Mar

| 
 Your remarks do not pudify me, for you are as guilty of such offenses as I am!   |     
(My definiton had something to do with passing gas and denying it)  |

							Let �s have a try!
   
 Jettatura sounds like... someone who is afraid of heights (don �t know anyone, I promise!) but takes a fast plane to escape to the sky! (Explanation: jet+ "altura" (height, in Spanish)  |

							JETTATURA... mmm.... how about a:
   
jet = how a person learning English pronounces "yet" 
tat = same person trying to pronounce "that" 
ura= SAME person trying to cheer "hurray!" 
  
so,complete definition would be, a dialogue btwn a person learning English his teacher: 
  
Ticherrr, I no finich peich tuu jet, tat is tuu difficult! bot peich uan, yes!  Ura!!!!  
  
  
   don �t pay attention to me! my mind is tired, but couldn �t resist posting!   
  
Good night to all!!!!   |
