A Contest for all you word freaks.

A lot of my friends and family are work freaks. So let's have a little contest. Post a comment, and look at the "Word Verification" word. The contest is to see who can make up the best definition for the word.

Bob,

I had one on my blog: "ovhrues."
In a sentence it would be, "The judge has decided to "ovhrue" his former decision..."

Southern speak.

This is not the same game, but rather some funnies that our kids have said. (I am not good at coming up with original stuff.)

When learning a new language, we also consider them to have a "grasp" on it when they can make jokes in the language. I will never forget when we were coming down the mountain one day and Sergei saw the "slippery when wet" road sign (he was taking driver's ed at the time). He said, "Hey, this road is SLOBBERY when wet!" Zhenya's language joke was on hot days, when he would say it was "spicy", rather than hot, outside.

And then there was Shawn's classic. One day he looked at the humidity gauge in our living room and said, "Hey Mom, there is 75% HUMILITY in this room!" Ha! Don't we wish...

Blessings
Ramona

OK, this is actually kind of fun. This is a hen singing "Zanadu". Remember the song sung by Olivia Newton John?

As in the sentence

I nearly gave into the wqdooe, but it was late at night and I wanted to go to bed.
