I �ve won the dubious honor of choosing a new word of the day. The new word is "Bombilation". Good luck everyone. |

Hi Ed, may be the word is derived from " bomb" . I think the act of bombing somewhere!!! |

It �s what Taliban commanders or other terrorist leaders say when one of their number has successfully blown up something - if they �re around to hear it of course.
Bombilations, dear (name of the culprit), right on target!
After that, they might sing a slightly adapted version of the song:
For he�s a jolly good fellow (3x) Which nobody can survive!
I didn�t look in the dictionary, I swear!

Remember folks and folkettes...Don �t use the dictionary!! It �s a game to see if you can derive the word and if not, come up with a clever meaning of your own. Ed |

this one is too easy!
Bombilation = bomb + depilation
it �s a brand new depilation technique invented recently after scientists discovered how much time women spent shaving/waxing their legs... and how much they hate it!!!
you go to the bathroom, get undressed, throw the bomb and it burns all your hairs but not your skin! just be careful to put something on your hair otherwise you �ll be hairless and bald!!!
this new technique is 90% effective, but needs to be repeated a few times to remove all your hairs FOREVER!!! not on the market yet, the price the "bombilation" should be $100 the bomb, quite expensive but well you won �t ever need to buy wax/razors again!!!
have a nice day!

That sounds great, Elodie--can �t wait �til it comes on the market!
I was actually thinking of the dessert called a bombe. It �s different layers of ice cream and sometimes cake, I think, molded together--kind of looks like a bomb, but is a lot more pleasant. So, bombilation would be the act of providing a bombe as a congratulatory gesture, for example serving light refreshments at a graduation party which would feature a bombe as the centerpiece/primary dessert.
