Weekend WOD Winner
 
So!
What a lot of fun we had with the word AUTOHAGIOGRAPHER.  To sum all the definitions up:
 
We had a conceited 300-lb cake eating donkey from Den Haag that spends its time singing about old witches as it photographs herds of self-cooking "haggi" as self-hugging Germans write down the recipe.
 
The real meaning of AUTOHAGIOGRAPHER is :
 
1) One who speaks or writes in a smug or self-aggrandizing way about his/her life or accomplishments. Said to be coined by Bernard Lewis, professor emeritus at Princeton University.
2) Autobiography of a saint.
3) Autobiography that flatters the subject
 
and the winner is (maybe because I am getting soft) Gloriawpai with her "auto hug" definiton.  Congrats Gloria! Now it is your turn to choose a word.
 
Cheers,
Douglas
