Definictionary!

Have you ever played Definictionary? It sure is a lot of fun! :-) Mom came up with this tricky sounding game to help us stretch our "defining" skills. Here's how it goes . . . .

Each person gets a Dictionary and a piece of paper and a pencil. (If you don't have enough Dictionaries, just take turns.) Now you are to look through the Dictionary, (quickly) and find a strange sounding word that you don't know the meaning of (and that you think no one else knows either). Write down that word, (and its pronunciation if you need it) and four definitions for it. One of the definitions is the correct one, and the other three you make up. Try to make them really interesting. :-) Once you have finished, read the word and spell it for everyone, then proceed to give out the definitions. Everyone has to write down which definition they think is the correct one (A, B, C, or D). After everyone has decided, you reveal the true definition!

Below are all the words we came up with. See if you can guess the correct definitions. Post your choices in "comments" and on Saturday, we'll reveal the answers. You're not allowed to use your Dictionaries!! :-)
