WOD-DECEMBER 23 WINNER!!!
|
The WOD was YAKKA and it means �work � imn Australia and New Zealand. It goes back to 19th century and its origin is unknown. The winner is EDROMEDINA with his definition It can mean a female yak as in : The yakka gave birth to a healthy yakkling. It can also mean, as the root (yak) of the word implies, a yenta (Yiddish for a gossip) as in: The yakka knew all the dirt on everyone in the small village.
Two very-very close runner ups are GLORIAWPAI with very simple and real life definition �"everytime when I gave food to my son when he was a little boy and he didn �t wanna eat, he �d say: yakka!!!" and STEXSTME with a beautiful piece of acrostic poetry
Yep!........
Another
Kool
Kristhmas
A.........love it!
CHAD, it a�really smart definition of that unattractive bull�thing but you are so much correct "Yakka - is another way to say "bullshit"
yak=bull
ka=shit
An expression "What a yakka!" is frequently used by Tibetans, who have brought it to the USA."
APODO, glad you liked the daffynitions of a common word. Hope now you �ll estimate it more as it is reach in meaning:)
JAYHO, you simply cracked this task od defyining a word with " it is also an anagram of KAYAK and that special way of falling out of the kayak when you are not paddling correctly is known as yakka"
OLINDALIMA ( F ), you are amazingly faithful to you pet. Animals leave imprints not just with dirty paws on the floor
