Thank you Douglas for passing me the baton. In all the research that I did on the Dipities I never came across any mention of a tall, dark and handsome stranger working for them. Hhhhmmm, how did you find out about this person? Some deep dark family secret you want to share perhaps?
Anyway, the new WOD is:ANTHROPODERMIC. Okay ladies and gentlemen (and if you don�t fall into either category you�re still welcome to join in) let�s hear your witty, silly and/or creative definitions for this word. Remember we want a made up definition not the true meaning of the word. All who submit a definition will have their names entered into a lottery and will be eligible to win the grand prize of a free all accommodations paid for trip to the opening day ceremonies of the winter Olympics in Sochi. Good luck!!! Ed For the hundreds of entries already made please follow the link: http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=44353 |

Glad to hear you �re including the gender queer, Ed. (I still identify as female, though.)
Anthropodermic refers to the cases of seed pods of Romanian flowers, most notably poppies. Anthropodermic opium, made from Romanian opium poppies, is widely considered some of the best score in the world.
anth: flower
ro: abbreviation for Romania
pod: seed packet

-ic: adjectival suffix |

Anthropodermic - a quality of electronic devices such as ipods, which are made to work very well especially in difficult desert conditions, where sand can ruin many such devices, and are designed so that they attach to human bodies very easily and hence their owners never loose them.
anthro - "connected to humans" pod - "the short form of ipod" ermic or eremic - "of or related to deserts or sandy regions"

Concerning local hillybilly complexions (perhaps a trait passed along via inbreeding?).
anthro: human or sentient
po: podunk (i.e. hillybilly)
dermic: of or relating to the skin
"Hey look at Jeb junior �s skin, it �s just as anthropodermic as Uncle Bubba and his brothers �--he �s definitely a Dipity, I don �t know about the dark hair though." |
