It's the S.V. Dicion'ry! [/Sad attempt at rhyming] Here's how it works. You post your definition of a word. The word must appear as though it was in a dictionary. For example: Chaos (n) A state containing no organisation, where everything is random and no two things are aligned. The rules: - The word must proceed the above one alphabetically (i.e. you can't put 'nocturnal' after 'nut')
- You may not use a real dictionary for reference.
- Please state a word that comes close to the preceeding one. For example, after 'Dictator', put 'Dictionary' rather than 'Gourmet'.
- Use your own definitions. They don't have to be accurate, just what you think.
- Spell your words correctly! I can't stress that enough.
- Just use simple words; ones you can explain. Not 'a' or 'the' or anything like that. We don't want to confuse anyone.
- One word per person.
So, let's get started. Abacus (n) Old-fashioned device for counting. Predecessor of the modern calculator. Consists of a number of beads on one or more rods, held in a frame. The beads slide across the rods. |
