New Word for The Word of The Day Contest
|
Thank you Moody for choosing me the winner of the WOD contest and for the links you �ve sent me for selecting the new word.
Dear friends, as I �ve said to Moody this is the first time I win the contest but it was my second participation in the game and here is my new word for you :valetudinarian
Hope it hasn �t been dealt with before. Go ahead with your CREATIVE DEFINITIONS (but not a real definition oF course). I will declare the winner on Monday. Good luck.

The post-revolution valetudinarian drop has undoubtedly discouraged many foreign investors from engaging in economic projects, but now that our economy is recovering many businessmen will change their minds.
VALE = value (valeur)
TU = Tunisian
DINAR = dinar
IAN = suffix to make adjective
valetudinarian drop = the decrease in the value of the Tunisian Dinar. |

I know exactly what this word means because I was a valetudinarian. I graduated top of my class and therfore was given this great honor. A valetudinarian is an academic title conferred upon the student who delivers the closing or farewell statement at a graduation ceremony at a school where one learns to park cars for others. Ed 
This a picture of me (the one in red)shortly after graduation and before I lost my hair, my teeth and my personality. |
