Hi Everybody!
Just got back from a 4-day metal festival, watched the World Cup Final, and came to work this morning to discover I had won the Word Of the Day contest--sorry for the delay.
Here�s the newest word for you to play with and get creative with:
poutine
Remember we are looking to stimulate our creative juices here and have a little fun while we are at it--so please don�t give a dictionary definition nor get too pedantic.
Cheers,
Douglas |

It �s a nickname for a sulky little girl who didn �t get her Disney princess gear.
pout: sulk
-ine: feminine suffix
Example: "The poutine is upset because she got a Pocahontas t-shirt for her birthday instead of Elsa." |

Well, we have daily routines and perennial poutines, meaning it lasts indefinitely. In MM�s example, the sulky little girl might just have one day of sulking over her birthday pressie or it could just be one never ending sulk, AKA a poutine.

It �s my mother-in-law �s middle name!! How did you find out about it??
It �s her routine to pout and sulk , no matter what we do, or what we don �t do, and we never know what will set off her pouting fits. So we changed her name to Poutine. Saves us from wondering what we did wrong this time ....
