A protection against poisons????????????
Bezoar -
Intestine parts of an animal a monster would like to eat.
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.........
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?
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.
Do we have to share you???
not sure about that...we'll see.
Who's first?
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 ;)
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?
Yep, a style of sculptured ornament suspended from a vaulted Gothic ceiling or roof.
Cool.. and I thought Latin Etymology was pointless :)
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...
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....")
Yep...of or relating to absorbing alchohol............

Behemoth....I am still looking for your word....I'll let you know what I come up with.
expiate
To say you're sorry..........to make atonement for.......
Ok, your turn....
I always liked the word
SUCCINCT

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
