The idea is for us regular vine attending Grapes to have some fun, whilst sharing some good words.
Each day, anyone (generally the first person) can post a word, prefereably something unusual and interesting and possibly with a definition onto the thread. Other Grapes then have to try and fit the word into one of their other posts on another thread during that day.
The next day, another Grape chooses a new word.
By the end of a month we should all be talking like Stephen Fry!
Word of The Day 9th October:
Panoply
n-
a wide ranging and impressive array or display
a complete suit of armour
a protective covering
full ceremonial attire or paraphernalia, special dress and equipment
E.g. "I've protected my brassicas with a panoply of voile this year, let's see the butterflies get through that!"
Let's see if this game takes off
Edit: Also if the words are sufficiently unusual, you'll be able to see who's used them by doing a search on it!
