Here is the new WOD:

You know the rules, no dictionaries and not even previous knowledge of the word itself...just let your imagination and association flow to come up with a new definition for the word.....Have fun! |

mis - miss
odocta - "Oh doctor"
kleid -German for dress
ist- person/type/specialist
A misodoctakleidist is a a lady that wears very revealing dresses as part of her attempt to "hook" a doctor. She calls "Oh, doctor!" and as the poor unkowning soul turns to respond she turns on her charm (including certain movements that accent the affects of the dress) and the doctor is pulled into her spell. Th efinal goal being to marry adoctor that wil provide VERY well for her and imprss her freinds, family and neighbors.
NOTE: I know this sounds sexist, but is not intended that way. There are people out there in the world that do this.

I �m new in our great community.
Never did anything like this. However, I accept Marion �s challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My momentary association is:
CLOTHES DON �T MAKE THE MAN.
(misunderstand=to lead into error of thought
/ kleid=clothes/ ist=a person.) |

douglas honestly you got it completely wrong!!!
miso is for misogyny
docta means "doctor" you �re correct
kleid is for kaleidoscope
ist = a person
misodoctakleidist is a person who sees the woman he/she hates as if he/she was looking through a kaleidoscope... obviously this is a very serious disease and we mustn�t joke about it! if you start having any of the symtoms above please contact your doctor immediately!
