frumious
 
I came across this word while reading a poem.I have an idea of what the writer wanted to say but I will keep that to myself for the moment.I am more intersted in what you can suggest as a meaning.

Try to define its meaning in the wittiest, most comical, or most stupid way.  If you know what it means, don�t tell us, please, but give us a daft definition of it, instead.

The Member with the best definition will go on and choose tomorrow�s Word.  

Remember, NO INTERNET, NO DICTIONARIES � just ideas from your head!

The frumious bandersnatch I believe it relates to. Jabberwocky by Lewis Caroll.  Alice in Wonderland.  I use this poem in class to get a across how you say something can be as important as what is being said.  Also with advance classes because I do just this reading the content of the poem and then guessing the definition based on content. 
I actually did a little study on how he came up with words and how many of them are now  real. Ok sorry way of topic.
 
Furmious is something that is furious and dangerous!
