A Winter Dictionary

[mothhawk]

That's the title of a book I got from the library this morning. it's full of forgotten, unusual, and archaic winter words, so I shall give you a word a day to bamboozle, fascinate, and inform

Two words today, to start it off:

Abliguration (noun) - I'm sure some of us will be guilty of this in the countdown to Christmas.

Moble (verb) - I expect some of us do this, too.

Have a guess at the meaning (but no googling!)

Definitions and a new word tomorrow.

[Florence Fennel]

Abliguration - the dance you do when you're in the middle of decorating the tree and desperate for a wee
Moble - the move you make to get there in time

[Nicos]

Agliguration - readying oneself to stuff your face ( probably by starving in anticipation )

Moble - waddling around afterwards

[Nicos]

Great thread idea MH

[Bren In Pots]

Abliguration - having that much to drink you start talking nonsense.

Moble - not being able to get of the floor.

[Snoop Puss]

Abliguration: the act of undoing a button or zip to relieve the pressure on your waistband after eating too much.

Moble: adjective to describe skirt or trousers travelling downwards after button or zip undone.

Great thread, MH. Thanks.

Love the guesses! Ithink Nicos was closest with abliguration - profligate spending on food and drink.

To moble is to dress in multiple layers of clothing to keep warm.

Today's random offering is snerdle (verb). I'm pretty sure GF snerdles a lot.

[Nicos]

To snerdle - the constant checking outside for signs of lovely white sner falling…..

[Nicos]

OH’s offering is ‘ To slowly snerdle up to someone in anticipation of having a festive kiss under the mistletoe’

[Bren In Pots]

To snerdle - to bake cakes.

[Snoop Puss]

To snerdle - to ladle soup in a careful way so as to not leave splashes and splurges on the side of the bowl.

[Florence Fennel]

To snerdle - the constant checking outside for signs of lovely white sner falling…..

Beat me to it Nicos - I thought that!

Snerdle - watch too many repeats of The Big Bang Theory

or with the clue - could it be something to do with snuggling under the duvet?

Great thread thanks Mothhawk

Well done Flo! you win snerdle - to nestle comfortably together; to wrap up cosily in bed.

Today's offering is jurpit (verb).

[Snoop Puss]

Jurpit - to swear that you haven't been going through the heap of presents to try and work out what they are.

(As you can tell, I haven't got the foggiest idea, but my heart did leap and my mouth did smile when I saw you'd posted again this morning, MH.)
