Well, well, well, I �ve won the WOD - thank you Isa! I thought that spanogyny was a group of Spanish ladies out on a hen night. So I guess a similar group of English birds would be an anglogyny. It actually means a scarcity of women like they had in the Wild West. Your new word is from a list supplied by Mr.Wilson.

I see that word and the first thing that hits me is the nudi bit!
So, my definition is that a nudiustarian is someone who rocks up to the ARIAs nude!
Cheers
Jayho

Jayho is only half right. The first part refers to a nudist, indeed. Us stands for the U.S of A. And �starian � is an abbreviation of Rastafarian (like good old Bob Marley). In short, it �s a dope smoking nudist in the US. Cheers, Peter.

Crystal clear for me !!! A nudiustarian is a a person who practices nudity mainly for reasons of economy ... why should I buy a new swimsuit (they �re extremely expensive in Spain)
when I can save the money ? Come on ,think about that, being a nudiustarian this summer is a good way to save some money ... |

Actually, this word has nothing to do with nakedness. It refers to a star-worshipper or a "scientific" astrologer.
nu: new
dius: god
star: star
-ian: suffix referring to a person, such as in musician |

It �s a woman who makes use of the latest donor insemination by American film or popstars.
nu=new
di = DI = donor insemination
us = U.S.
star = star
ian = suffix

from nuda in Polish meaning dullness. We use the word nudiustarian to refer to a student who with the quality of being slow to understand , he/she often stares at the teacher with astonishment. |

Douglas, may I remind you that no real definitions are allowed? Now that you let the cat out of the bag I can �t come up with a creative idea.
