WORD DEFINITION CONTEST
 
WORD DEFINITION CONTEST 11TH JULY
 
So, being the winner of the last contest, I am the one who has to start a new one.
 
The word is very simple but I expect you to be as creative as I know you can be.
 
So here it is: ORGANDIE
 
Have fun!

Easy: it is a musical instrument that when functional is often played in cathedrals, but the pipes are stopped up. The organ-die!

@ Moody ha ha ha!
Or a command. Sunday morning. You are in church, right up at the front and the organist lets rip. You have got a bad headache from the night before and you send up a silent prayer: Organ, die!

It �s a vegetarian diet as recommended by the Indian leader, Ghandi, for cleansing the organs of all impurities. The Organdie, as it has been dubbed,  has been known to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels .

Well, so it �s time for me to reveal the winner of this word definition contest.
It was really hard for me to choose a winner as all answers were quite creative and some made me laugh real hard.
 
The winner of the word definition contest is spinney  for its amazing creativity and sense of humour.
spinney, now it �s your turn to choose a word and start a new word definition contest. Thank you so much for your excellent answer, which just knocked me off my feet! 
 
Now, for the real definition:
ORGANDIE : British English for a very thin stiff cotton cloth, used as dress material, as Abdallah78 well pointed out but, sorry Abdallah78, we wanted an invented definition, not the real one, so I could not consider your answer. Thank you for also taking part in this contest and better luck next time!
