Hi everyone
Thank you to Isa2 for choosing my definition.
Here is the new word. It is now obsolete but was commonly used in the 1600�s. Do your best to think of a witty definition for today�s usage.
tragematopolist
Cheers

It means:
Tragedy Magazines Top List. It used to be published at the end of June. Five years ago I read in the list this title Othello ... written by a man called Shakespeare.

No, I think you got it wrong... tragen (German for to carry something) mat (as in yoga mat) opolist for opposition
Tragematopolists are people who refuse to carry their own yoga mats  |

Hi Jayho,
I �m sorry to interrupt the game but I wonder if you could post another word for the contest; it has already been used by MoodyMoody here and she chose my definition. BTW, I suspected that the previous word posted by isa has also been dealt with. It took me a quite while to search for the link and found nothing before I got tired and gave it up .
To avoid using the same word again,I suggest we should mention the word in the heading of each post so that it becomes easy for us to check . so what do you think?

I absolutely love Manuhk�s definition. I�m too lazy to carry my own yoga mat so I must be a tragematopolist!
Actually, back in the 1600�s a tragematopolist was every child�s favourite person, a seller of sweets!
Cheers
