WORD OF THE DAY FOR SUNDAY
|
|
Dear all,
since Douglas loved my Dipsy suggestion, it appears I am the winner of the word of the day. I �ve posted this below, but it �s a busy Sunday, so it �s going to get pushed out of the forum in a second. Let me, therefore, repeat part of my WOD post...
The word of the day this time will be sth easy, since it is Sunday, after all... I just played this game not long ago with my sts, and they loved guessing this word, because it sounds so simple to guess, and then again...
NURSERYMAN
(I know some of you may know exactly what it means, but the connotations from the root of the word might be interesting. I hope...)
Do your best and most charming... (no dictionaries, of course)

Nurseryman is the ugly plumpy bald man who works at my friend �s Nursery. He is the only person over 60 there. :-D
Not very handsome but he knows all the nursery rhymes. :-))

A nurseryman is a man one hires on a breeding farm to feed an animal when the animal �s mother can no longer produce milk. This is only given to experienced men who have had lots of experience with bottle feeding. |

I know exactly what it is, it �s any man who has entered his second childhood and is sent to nursery school by his children.
David will soon become a nurseryman. |

In this era of post-emancipation, it is time for ewomancipation. Men around the world now are looking for ways to take on traditional women �s jobs. Since nature -as is its nature- is slow to catch up with the trend, innovative inventions were needed. One of these inventions is called �nurseryman �, you can see for yourself why..
(next men will need to be taught that a plastic doll doesn �t nurse well, not even from real breasts...women would have noticed with one glance at the hand that it isn �t going to work with this �baby �... :) |
