WORD OF DAY - 8th May 2013
|
Give it a go!

Here is the new word of the day. Can you give a definition of the following word? Don �t hold back, let your imagination go:
Finnimbrun
Remember that you have to give an alternative meaning
for the word, NOT the correct one.

Finn is in the middle of brunch and would like to tell you more about it, but his mouth is too full for him to finish his sentences.

Fin: appendage of an aquatic animal, such as a fish or dolphin
nim: a game involving strategic removal of items from heaps
Brun: a river in Lancashire, England
So finnimbrun is obviously a variant form of the game nim played by fishers in Lancashire using parts of fish that are not eaten. Simple!

Finnimbrun means someone from Finland who runs very fast. The term was invented after a player from Finland remained alive in a PvP in an online RPG and the participants from other countries exclaimed �Finns are imba* runners! � And because players tend to shorten everything (so that they play more and speak less) the phrase was reduced to a single word Finnimbrun.
*imba = imbalanced
Greetings to all RPG fans!

Well, I have a friend whose name is FINNingan and he is really IMpolite when he is in BRUNswick. I �m afraid that the finnimbrun is a very particular sickness of the family FINNingan. Only God knows why the 1st Finningan who ever went in Brunswick was impolite... The legend says that he had eaten too many buns and drunk to many beers with so he became unable to clearly articulate his words and his address turned into unvoluntary impoliteness. Why not ? As I �m not a Finningan heir I �m unable to be impolite like them !
