STEATOPYGIC:
STEA-similar to Stehen (German for "stand")
to
PYGIC- PYGMY-LIKE
So STEATOPYGIC "means stand to Pygmy"--that is to be short.
example: Mary is quite steatopygmic--she is only 4 feet tall.
WOD NOTE: perhaps we should make it the word of the days and choose a winner every couple of days. |

@Douglas, I like your idea. Sometimes I feel pressured to get a word up or get adaffynition in or to choose a winner with few replies. I �m sure Bruce can relate. We could also make it mandatory. If you need help you have to supply at least one daffynition. If you �re offering help (since you �re so smart) you have to give two daffynitions. If you like someone else �s daffynition you have to supply your own (you �ve just been inspired no?). If you post a cute picture of a cat you have to supply four daffynitions. If you have a cute picture of a cat as your avatar 5 daffynitions. I think this is only fair. ;-) |
