Word of the Day

So my tragic (and true!) story about a bat attack was deemed amusing enough to win the Word of the Day yesterday!
Here �s today �s word:
algerining
The usual rules apply - no cheating by looking up the answer, no dictionary definitions - the funniest answer wins and will choose tomorrow �s Word of the Day.
Happy guessing!

Turning something into Algae doesn �t sound much better....
(come to think of it, it sounds worse..I�d rather be turned into an Algerian than into algae..so i go with nuritan. :) |

I think, it means "making miltiple mistakes(erring) in your algebra (alg) exercises":
OH, I �VE BEEN ALGERINING AGAIN!"

ALGERINING :This is the soft gentle sound of algae growing.
al-ge - algae
rin-ing - A combination of ringing and whining
(So soft of course that you need an Algerining earpiece to hear it.) |

Somebody who has an extreme enthusiasm for everything Algerian. i.e. Geez, Peter is algerining again... ever since he came back from Algeria that �s all he can talk about.

OK, new try...
Algerining is what my son calls grandma �s (and sometimes my) comments on his lifestyle..
The "when I was your age" kind of talk.....
He calls it "All that geriatric whining" or "Algerining" in short
Typical scene:
He complains about the amount of homework.
I mention how much homework I did.
He growls: Mom could you just stop Algerining!
I reply "At least we learned to articulate!" |
