Thank you Lynne for choosing me as the winner of the word of the day competition! Here is the new word. Remember, we don �t want the real meaning! Please let your associations run wild, and give your funny, smart, deep, or just silly meaning for the word: AGELAST I will chose a winner whenever I have time  |

Well here is the ending of 3 different words :
Ragelast : that is to say this adjective qualifies people unable to accept they are to become old.
Cagelast : that is to say this adjective qualifies people who consider that old age is a trap.
Pagelast : that is to say this adjective qualifies only Wise people able to understand wisdom books.
But the meanings are so close that grammarians decided to create only 1 word from both 1st ones and it is AGELAST and paradoxically they kept the positive meaning : The older you become the wiser you will last ! |
