OMG, I �ve just discovered  that I was the winner of yesterday �s word of the day, as it is a bit late I will start the thread now and will probably give you the opportunity to give it a try as well tomorrow if you don �t mind.
So today �s (and tomorrow �s) word of the day is:


Limerance

The author of the  funniest answer will have the chance and honour to start Sunday �s Word of the day thread!  Good luck!!

I guess it �s the gift some people have, of writing Limericks from a really artistic and witty point of view. (A very formal term). See for instance the word in the example: "The audience became delighted with her exquisite Limerance and clapped enthusiastically"
Love,
Eva

People, people, people....Limerance was (he has passed away) Liberace �s lesser known  and not as flamboyant younger brother.

A carefully choreographed  dance routine done to the rhythmic tones of a vocalized limerick.

Example: Napoleon wowed the crowd with his hypnotic limerance...

Clap MJ Misa!
limerance
lime = lemon, ance = short form of ancestors = pre - pears
limerance = lemon ancestors
I wonder what the ancestors of lemons were like? Pears? Yeah, maybe two pears were dancing in the wind and that �s how the limes were born...

Limerance-a limerick romance
A romance between two people where they share "sweet nothings" in the form of limericks.
 
For example:
 
I know a fine girl from Spain
Her beauty is my bane,
She �s stolen my heart
She �s sweet as a tart
I �ll never be the same again
