Word of the Day Contest 15 July
|

Thanks Georgina for your choosing me but we are in holidays period and I think that people are less present than usual.
1st of all I would like to say that I am devastated by what happened in Nice, in the South of France where I lived years ago...
Is Peace a nonsensical word ??? How can people be crazy enough to kill like that ???
Well, here is the new word for our game : WAZZOCK.
Please give me daffynitions just to make me sure that friendship is not just an illusion.
Hugs to all.
Maryse. |

Dear Maryse, I woke up this morning with the news and I just can �t tell you how devastated I feel as well. It seems that we are living in a totally crazy world where killing people in the name of religion has become a normal thing to do. I offer my sincere condolences to the people of France and I must say that Liberté, Egalité et Fraternité still make sense in the world today. Georgina |

Hi dear friend, Friendship should not be considered as just an illusion - never. My sincere condolences not only to French people but also for those who lost relatives/acquaintances there, we still not know if there are Portuguese victims. I know Nice, I have been already there a few years ago, I have relatives who live near. Hugs
to all who suffer with this situation.

It�s a terrible thing, yet again, not to mention the latest news that I awoke to. We must stay strong and continue on. We have a great community here and let�s keep it that way. It�s so comforting to know that you can come here for solace when the word around you is in turmoil.
Now, my daffynition for word of the day ...
I just learned the British slang meaning of wazz and also what a zock is so, it�s a zock having a wazz.
Cheers
Jayho

It �s a newly created position in the UK government. The Chief Wazzock �s job is to make sure that gemtlemen in the working environment always own up and apologise profusely after breaking wind or burping. Ladies can just pretend it wasn �t them.

It � short for "What �s up Doc", a sentence that Bugs Bunny uses quite often. |
