Word of the Day

Ha! I won!!!
It feels awkward for me to have won with this quixotic word since many close friends of mine have told me more than once over the years that I am some sort of Don Quixote myself...
Ok! Now for the new word of day � I am thinking about dithyrambic, yeah why not...
Dithyrambic is the new word of the day!
So, according to Elojolie274, here is what you have to do:
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 silly definition of it, instead.
Remember,
NO INTERNET, NO DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS � just ideas from your head!
May the wittiest win!

dith--this (with a lisp)
yr- your
am- A.M.
bic- an ink pen
A dithyrambic is the pen you use only in the mornings.
OR, even better:
dith- this
yr- abbreviation for year
am- a form of to be
bic- big
The little child as she approaches her 5th birthday (she can start school at 5):
"Mommy, mommy, dythyrambic and I can go to school!" (this year I �m big) |

Obviously it means "having two thyroid glands".
Wow! Such a person could never be overweight.

Bruce, unless of course the thyroids are on hyper rather than hypo, in that case such a person would become immensely obese.... can go both ways you know... |

Well, Marion, I was just hoping for functioning properly, which would mean a double metabolism.

I am new to this ...
I posted the dithyrambic WOD because I won the last challenge, but I do not know how to make it permanent on the forum for the time allowed for the contestants to reply. How can I do this?
