I really enjoyed some members � daffynitions, so (according to Ed) I am now to provide another one myself.  BLATTEROON is a kind of sharp blade used by doctors in Cameroon in order to perform a circumcision. |

Blatteroon: geriatric geezer way past retirement age clinging to power through intimidation, manipulation and bribery. (etymology: derived from Sepp Blatter, current FIFA president).
E.g. Rupert Murdoch is a real blatteroon. |

Good one Philip! 
I think FIFA is The Evil Empire, so "Sepp" must be the Evil Emperor

After reading some great daffynitions the person I chose to continue the game is Sipnney �s happy bag: A blatteroon is a kind of cake used in traditional celebrations on some of the Scottish islands and a couple of the English isles to the West. It �s a kind of sweet haggis made from oats, apple and honey. The origin of the word is debatable among linguists as to weather its introduction into the language comes from Scots Gaelic or Old Norse. As such, the Scots and English have battled over ownership of the word for centuries. Many now agree that the word is a combination of both language trees. The Old Norse word "blutder" meaning bag and the old Gaelic word "roon" means happiness.
So Spinney please continue our game by posting your WOD. Ed |
