What he/she did was take those funky words that we have to input to prove that we are thinking human beings when leaving a comment, and came up with definitions for them.
So here are a few that I came upon over the past few days:
burbons: bonbons made with bourbon
purbing: curbing your puppy
well, this one got off the leash ...I also like this one, but I can't for the life of me come up with a definition, so I am putting it out there to you. Please define:
bognati
Look forward to your brilliant definitions!
Bognati sounds like a good last name. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is how addicted to Words with Friends I've gotten - it unscrambles to "boating."
It does, doesn't it? Hmmm.
DeleteSounds like a fancy kind of bologna.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of bog bodies and how they manage to stay so incredibly gorgeous after being dead so long :)
ReplyDeleteYes, like bognati is what happens to bog bodies - the process of not decomposing!
DeleteEw - bog body? Why don't they decompose? Good hiding place for zombies. City near a bog (bognati reminds me of Cincinnati).
ReplyDeletePerhaps bognati is a bog outside of Cincinnati. So far, that one is my favorite :-)
DeletePurbing. Wouldn't that be a great play for Words With Friends. As a blogger myself, Words With Friends seems a more appropriate time-waster than, say, television. Bottom line, my blog has more word game posts than thoughtful entries. Too easily preoccupied by WWF and TV. I will always justify my TV time as long as I can tie it back to wordplay. Blame my love of Scrabble, WWF and TV trivia for me creating my blog and the anagrams I invent. Still, all these distractions keep me from posting interesting stuff like you do.

Well, I don't know - games are fun and I don't play enough of them! So I'll have to be sure to visit you more often. :-)
DeleteOh, it's far too late in the evening after a day at work to think of anything at all!
ReplyDeleteI've left a couple of awards on my blog for you!
You're sweet, Annalisa, I will go look xo
DeleteA bog where nats get in the eye.....:))
ReplyDeletesee, my mind works best in the SIMPLE MODE.:)
Oh - that's very good!
DeleteDear Melissa,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun game to play. I like your definitions and would add, stressing how to pronounce it--not spell it, the following for "bognati": a bow that's naughty. Like a ribbon bow that won't stay tied!
Peace.
Gnoti gnoti bo :-)(note: the g is silent :-)
DeleteDear Melissa,
DeleteI laughed out loud when I read your response here and I'm still grinning!
Peace.
Bognati is clearly the stylish clothing one would wear in a swamp.
ReplyDelete(Linda G's Visiting Reality might be the blog where you first saw this)
You may be right - on both counts!!
DeleteHa ha ha! What a great idea for a game. And that puppy is adorable ... I'm so glad he wasn't too easily purbed. :)
ReplyDeleteAmy - isn't he the cutest thing! What a great shot.
DeleteGoing with the Italianate pronunciation, bognati are the people who live exclusively aboard yachts, I think.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think you might win with that!
DeleteYou know those BOGO sales (buy one get one free), well BOGNATI Buy one get nothing, or Nati for short!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
DeleteIt sounds like some type of Italian pasta... what a fun idea, I agree!

That's all I could think of too!
