Thank you, Karagozian, for choosing me as the winner of the "Word of the Day" Competition. Dear Members of ESLP, your new WOD for this occasion is: NUDIUSTERTIAN Please try to define, describe, or disseminate details about this strange word. However, DO NOT give the dictionary definition! When I have received sufficient entries, I shall declare the WINNER. All the Best of Luck. Les Douglas

NUDIUSTERTIAN is an adjective relating to a job that needs to be done without wearing clothes. Example - During the economic crisis of 2008, I could only get nudiustertian work at a strip club where I would work at weekends entertaining women celebrating their hen nights. |

Nudiustertian is a term of endearment that was taken from German and slightly mangled in form during the translation. From the German "Meine kleine Nudistenausterchen", it basically translates "my little nudist oyster" Douglas

The 3rd meaning is "(International) noodles - diurnal ones - made by the Cistertians (monks)" You can eat these noodles only during the day. But I don�t know the actual reason for that, the mystery cannot be solved as the writing explaining that was burnt by the inventor while he was cooking the 1st dish of the Cistertian diurnal noodles... It is said it might be some kind of secret medicine... Only God knows   |

A Nudiustairian is a person who refuses to get dressed in the bedroom, he - yes, it only affects males - comes down the stairs in his birthday suit and gets dressed in the kitchen. Strange, but true. Ah - it�s nudiustertian. That is because he gets dressed on the third step.

You guys make me laugh.
You�re talking nonsense. So, stop telling nonsense or saying anything about an
area that you have no control over.
NUDIUSTERTIAN simply sounds like KARAGOZIAN.
Now,
typical Armenian last names (family names) end with the
originally patronymic suffix -յան (reformed orthography) or -եան (classical orthography), transliterated as -yan, -ian.
Example: Petrosyan, meaning "issued from Petros" or "the son
of", akin to the English name Peterson. Some Diaspora Armenians have changed
these endings to blend in their host societies. Today in Turkey
"oglu" often replaces "ian," while Russian Armenians
may change the endings to "ov"; e.g., Garry Kasparov, Sergei
Parajanov.
So,
when KARA means black, and GOZ means eyes, then KARAGOZIAN means "from the
black eyed family".
Now
NUDE DIU
STERT IAN which should sound NUDESTARDIEUTIAN.
Yes, here again I must admit that Les is wrong. I know this is unusual but can
happen to anyone, even LES.
Now, what does star
Dieu or star God mean? Star God is defined by the lexicographers at Oxford Dictionaries as A star or planet worshipped as a god.
So NUDESTARDIEUTIAN exactly means "issued from the planet of the nude God".
