Wow Abdel, I still cannot beleive my definition actually had a core of truth! Hilarious! Thank you for choosing me to post a new word, it is truly an honor!
Here is my offer to the altar of your wordly wit:
strepitous
For all those new to the game, the idea is to make up a definition of your own, not give the real meaning of the word. You can make up any silly, witty, deep, smart or absurd definition you want, just not the real one! (which is why Les offered the term �daffynition �☺)
So join the game! It is great fun and a good opportunity to learn some new (although often not very useful) vocabulary  |

What a great word!
" the guy drank and smoked so much last night that he woke up speaking STREPITOUSLY!"
So STREPITOUS is from latin : strepitus a din, meaning giving out a strident noise.
The sore throat one might have due to fever or streptococcal infection turns voice STREPITOUS and musical! ( many women love guys with such voice - lol-). Doesn �t BRIAN ADAMS have a STREPITOUS voice?
HUGS.  |
