Oh, and some of you have asked about my hands. I've been keeping them well lubed with Johnson's Betime Baby Lotion and they're all better, thanks.
Just in case this is your first time by here on a Thesaurus Thursday, the "rules" of Thesaurus Thursday are as follows:
First and foremost, leave as many funny definitions for either word (or both) as you can think up in the comments!! The ones that make me laugh the hardest will be given the Silly Goose Award.
Next, if you know (or think you know) the true definitions without looking them up then be sure and leave those in the comments too!! All definitions that are correct (or close enough for government work and Mighty Mom) will win the Smarty Pants Award!
Awards will be given out in Saturday's post, so don't forget to come and see if you won!

oubliette (oo-blee-yet') A noun. An East Indian word for 'a female elephant driver'. 'Oublieeee', with the second syllable held out as long as possible, is the call used to round up the elephant herd for transport. When feminism gained a foothold in rural parts of India and women began competing for careers in elephant driving, they were nicknamed 'oubliettes' by their male counterparts who used it as a derogatory term.
