Word of the Day (WOD)
 
Hello Friends,
 
The newest Word of the Day (WOD) is:
 
     jettatura
 
Please come up with a creative, wacky definiton and don�t give any dictionary or internet definitions.  The idea of the game is to have fun and stir-up creativity.
 
Have fun,
Douglas
 
 
 
Yesterday�s word was :
 
Pudify: to cause to be ashamed ---thanks Mar
 

 

Your remarks do not pudify me, for you are as guilty of such offenses as I am!

(My definiton had something to do with passing gas and denying it)

Let �s have a try!
 
 Jettatura sounds like... someone who is afraid of heights (don �t know anyone, I promise!) but takes a fast plane to escape to the sky! (Explanation: jet+ "altura" (height, in Spanish)

JETTATURA... mmm.... how about a:
 
jet = how a person learning English pronounces "yet"
tat = same person trying to pronounce "that"

Ticherrr, I no finich peich tuu jet, tat is tuu difficult! bot peich uan, yes!  Ura!!!!
