Writing Gooder

This week’s word is scissorfy.  As usual, make up a definition for it and post it in the comments.  Including it in a sentence is greatly appreciated, but not required.

Last week’s word was flummonade, and there were a lot of great definitions that people made up!  If you want a good laugh, read the comments.

But one definition has to win, and after much deliberation on the part of yours truly, that winner is Azila with:

flummonade (v.): to flounce about joyously, unaware of great danger and/or embarrassment you are causing for your self.

• Hubert flummonaded out of the barber’s shop, not noticing the bug-eyed stares pedestrians were awarding to the large clump of hair that the barber had accidentally died green

Next week, I’ll be posting all of the newly created words and a small contest (with a prize!) will be held; the person who uses the most new words in the correct way on sites other than YWS will win.  More details next week.

This week’s word is flummonade, which has no Latin root.  It is purely a made-up word, so no extra points this time for staying true to the Latin root.

Last week’s word was deponinate, coming from the Latin root depono, meaning to put down, lay aside.  The winning definition comes from Lynlyn:

Deponinate: (v.) To remove from a position of authority, usually by decree of a higher office.

• The local chairman was deponinated by the regional manager, who felt that his irresponsible use of funds merited removal from the position.

Congrats Lynlyn!
