Thank you for selecting my daffynition, redcamarocruiser! I am delighted that my Google fu was up to the challenge.
 
However, I did not need Google to find the next Word of the Day. I encountered it about two weeks ago and I �ve been waiting to use it ever since.
 
The new Word of the Day is
 
PITYRIASIS.
 
Remember, do NOT give the real definition! Anyone who is caught giving the real definition is automatically disqualified. Go to it, fellow teachers!

It �s a condition that overcomes female teachers when they correct their students � tests. They think of all the sorrow that they cause with an F grade. So they pity the victims of their strictness so much that  they cannot help giving a better grade.
