DEFERVESCENCE 

Thanks to all the contestants!

http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=55157

Congratulations, Redcamarocruiser. You are the Winner!
 
Deferescence is a question parents and music teachers ask teens when they play their music too loud.
It is pronounced as "Deaf or essence?" It means, "Do you want to go deaf or enjoy the essence of the music?"
 
The REAL MEANING of the word is: "Medicine: the abatement of a fever as indicated by a decrease in bodily temperature."
 
Now. it �s up to you, redcamarocruiser, to submit your Daffynition.
 
Good Luck!
