Welcome to Thesaurus Thursday, 2009.
This game has brought me great joy and taught me many new words! I'm glad to continue it into this new year. Welcome to all newcomers!! Take a minute and peruse our "game rules" here, then come back to this post and join in for big fun and enormous laughs!
OK, here's a hint folks. Don't read the comments until AFTER you post your guesses!! Then you won't have trouble coming up with a definition cuz someone else's silliness gets stuck in your head! Feel free to leave multiple definitions for either or both words. And if you were going to say the same thing someone else says, then SAY IT!! I have never made the rule that only one person can claim any particular definition or prize...Silly or Smarty.
Are you ready?? Got those funny bones all warm and limber??
OK.
The words for this week are:
twayblade
twee
For those of you who are new this year, all words and definitions come from my 1992 Random House Webster's College Dictionary. I do not pick proper nouns or words that I know the meaning of. (yes, participles dangle all over my house...deal with it).
For all winners, the Awards will continue to be found on my sidebar to pick up at your leisure.
Now don't forget to leave your comments for the new words!
