How the heck long does it take you to come up with marvelous, witty descriptions for these unusual words. Again, just loved it. Barb
clearly from the sporatic nature of my postings here, it takes me far too long to come up with them. and they're nearly always far too autobiographical. sometimes, like here, i have a good picture that i want to use, so i make up one to do with that.
today, i actually got out a huge (old) dictionary and looked up words that were kind of like the word in question and then constructed a definition based at least partly on the "truth," whatever that is in regard to the meaning of words. :-)
i'll admit i have to be inspired in order to write them, but i faithfully collect them...i've got small notes all over the house with WV words scribbled on them.
