Word of the Day
 
Oh how great!!! We have lots of people giving it a try!!!
Reposting for those living on other hours...
 
 

New Word of the Day
 

Come and play, come and play!!

Here is the new word of the day!!

Everyone can join the fun!

 

For those new to the game:

The idea is to prodvide an alternative meaning for the word.

(NOT the real meaning, some of you have huge vocabularies, some less, some know how to use a dictionary, some know how to search the net. All of us can find out the real meaning of the word fairly easily....)

The idea is to tickle your silly bone, make up an alternative meaning: It can be silly or serious, based on knowledge of other languages, or not be related in any way to anything, just your associative thinking.

Just an excuse to play a bit with language and have some fun..

 

The word for today is: LIPOGRAM

 

COME ON, GIVE IT YOUR BEST AND BRING A SMILE TO THE FORUM!

 
Here are the previous entrees, just to get a taste and get an idea of what the game is about.
Please post your entree under this new thread!

LI - international code for Liechtenstein
 
pogram - alternative spelling for pogrom, a violent Russian mob that attacks minorities, usually Jews
 
So, sadly, a lipogram is a violent mob that attacks Jews from Liechtenstein who now live in Russia.
