The Dictionary Game

RULES: Very simple. The winner picks an odd word and participants try to make up definitions to that word. Usually the wittiest/smartass definition wins, but it's up the the winner to determine the next winner (am I making sense?).

So lets say I offer a word for ya'll to write a definition, and Sylvaen comes up with a witty answer and wins the round, he next picks a new word and we all compete with our various definitions -- and the torch gets passed along.

You are NOT allowed to look up the word in a dictionary. You must make a leap of faith and invent your own definition.

At the end of the judging, the new word-giver will give the official definition of the word and announce the new winner.

Most of all .. have fun with it

Ok folks, take a stab at:

Importunate

Importunate - A 'Bushism' meaning to make important.

e.g. "I asked Congress to importunate the tax relief bill for oil companies so our profits will grow."

Importunate - to render financially destitute; see also Enbroktify.

Importunate:

"To have a degree of importance during moments when said item is fortunate enough to be mentioned."

Example: The Technical Sergeant addressed the Senior Airman by his first name, during a meeting with higher ranking personnel- the airman was still not allowed to speak (despite being more informed than the Tech. Sergeant)."

Aha! well maybe future rounds will generate more play ... but let's look at this week's submissions:

The word was Importunate -- it's real meaning:

1.	urgent or persistent in solicitation, sometimes annoyingly so.

2.	pertinacious, as solicitations or demands.

3.	troublesome; annoying: importunate demands from the children for attention.

Sylvaen submitted:

Importunate - A 'Bushism' meaning to make important.

e.g. "I asked Congress to importunate the tax relief bill for oil companies so our profits will grow."

Not a bad stab at it Sylvaen, you are awarded the shiny glittery Shrub award. So now you'll be prepared for when someone yells "BRING ME A SHRUBBERY!"

Next up is Ira's submission:

Importunate:

"To have a degree of importance during moments when said item is fortunate enough to be mentioned."

Example: The Technical Sergeant addressed the Senior Airman by his first name, during a meeting with higher ranking personnel- the airman was still not allowed to speak (despite being more informed than the Tech. Sergeant)."

Again, not bad, not bad at all! Ira wins the "get me the hell out of work for the day" award. Congratz! Use it wisely.

But the winner this week, (anyhow), is Donev for this stab:

Importunate - to render financially destitute; see also Enbroktify.

I think the use of the word enbroktify nudged it over the top and into first place.

Congratz Donev! You may now pick the next word.
