a new game, from the maker of Lame-Ass Trivia!

[crptcblade]

It's the Defintion Game!!! *a brief pause to let all the applause die down *

Rule 1 : Give a word and wait for an answer, the person who answers right first gives the next word.

Rule 2 : No tickling, this means you Lethal!

OK, here we go...What's a grommet?

[Bjwbell]

Can we use the dictionary?

isnt a grommet one of those rubber things the snotty kids in school used to have in their ears? kind of like a valve or something...?

[Jeff_1]

Are we talking wallace and grommet? or the protective rubber stuff? heh

isn't it the same thing as an eyelet?

whats an eyelet? a baby eye?

at the bottom, it has a screw, and at the top, it has a little hole, so you can loop stuff thru it.... kind of looks like the little holes that you thread the line through on a fishing pole.

oh, i know what you meant. like the things on the end of net curtain wire?

Ok, what is a valetudinarian?

[barrk]

Some one who is constantly sick or concerned with being or getting sick.

Damn that was fast... your turn :D

[barrk]

Here's one for you...

How about callipygous?

[crptcblade]

sweet ass, as slang...

Hehehe, couldn't have put it better myself :rolleyes:

[barrk]

Yep...that's it....or

"having beautifully porportioned buttocks" if you go by the dictionary definition.

your turn crptcblade

[crptcblade]

gregarious - its the best I can come up woth for now...

Enjoying being with other people... or moving with a group of others of the same kind.

[barrk]

outgoing and open..boisterous...

[crptcblade]

sorry barrk, dennis got in first...go ahead dennis

let's combine all those into a sentence.....

The valetudinarian had a gregarious and very callipygous girl friend until she found out parts of his body could fit into a grommet.


:D:D:D:D:D

Ok, here's my word:
interstice

[Active]

small space between things..

Ok, you got it, so lets update my sentence....

The valetudinarian had a gregarious and very callipygous girl friend until she found out parts of his body could fit into a grommet, with much interstice.

:D

[Active]

Since I am Not a Native Englishman.
Let me Mix Math with english


what does this word mean ?

((anti)^n)-Social

Where n is the first prime number after 512

remember anti^2,anti^4...etc....means just social
since they are anti of anti..

[HarryW]

If it's a prime number bigger than 2 then it's odd, so I'd say it's antisocial - closetted, introverted, lack of will to interact with others.

Oh Damn, I forgot about that little "rule".

I wrote a program to find the next prime number after 512... damn....

[Active]

Dennis...That's the difference between Programmer
and a man With common sense.

[barrk]

Are the two mutually exclusive?????????

[HarryW]

So, just out of interest, what is the first prime after 512?

547

[barrk]

Dennis....have you killed off Benjamin?

*Dennis reloads, and tucks away pistol*

Yeah.... it's too much of a pain to keep logging in and out with the new version.... :eek:

[barrk]

Poor Ben...he was so cute too!!!!!!!!!

[Benjamin]

Thanks Katie :)

[barrk]

You're welcome!!!!!!!

[HarryW]

Hey, leave some exclamation marks for the rest of us will you?

so, have we got a new word to be going on with?

If not, try bezoar.

[barrk]

A protection against poisons????????????

[Active]

Bezoar -

Intestine parts of an animal a monster would like to eat.

[barrk]

Active.....as much as I like your description better.........

The Webster's dictionary says that it is a hard intestinal mass found in ruminants once regarded as a magical protection against poisons.........

[Active]

I saw that word in a fairy tale.. Don't remember the name.
But it's about a prince saving a princess from a monster.

essentially, its a posh word for a hairball or other nasty congealed mess found in stomachs...

mmm... thats put me right off my breakfast...

Anyway - its between active and katie -
Crptcblde: would you care to referee?

[barrk]

I'd say we're both right...it's a hairball or mass of intestines that ward of poisions............we both win!.....what did we win???

me...
hard luck.

[barrk]

Do we have to share you???

not sure about that...we'll see.
Who's first?

[barrk]

you......

Next word


ordure

something moraly offensive.... it can also mean dung...

The valetudinarian had a gregarious and very callipygous girl friend until she found out parts of his body could fit into a grommet, with much interstice. She anounced this to the whole town, cordure he thought, everybody hated him, so, to protect himself from being poisoned, he was forced to ingest bezoar.


Damn, it's getting hard to write readable sentences with all these new words ;)

[barrk]

Okay...how about pendantic..............not to be confused with pedantic.

that one is not in the dictionary.... but I'm pretty sure I can guess what it means.....

does it mean..... to hang?

[barrk]

Yep, a style of sculptured ornament suspended from a vaulted Gothic ceiling or roof.

Cool.. and I thought Latin Etymology was pointless :)

[barrk]

You never know when you'll need some seemingly useless piece of info.

Got that right :D

i was going to post the word triskelion, but it doesnt have the meaning I thought it did.

Does anybody know the word that means a stone with 3 flat sides? (oh yes, it does exist!) I found it in Collins 97 dictionary at work last year, but I dont have a copy available to me now...

[barrk]

Here's a great word............definitely one we should all have in our vocabulary!

BIBULOUS

Anybody know what it means?

it means to absorb(the substance is usually alcohol "the bibulous man....")

[barrk]

Yep...of or relating to absorbing alchohol............

You next Dennis.


Behemoth....I am still looking for your word....I'll let you know what I come up with.

expiate

[barrk]

To say you're sorry..........to make atonement for.......

Ok, your turn....

[barrk]

I always liked the word


SUCCINCT


What do you think?

When you try to "compress" all the words in your sentence or phrase so it's not as long...

or it can mean Girded or tucked up; bound; drawn tightly together
