Better Late than Never

I know; this week, I utterly fail. Last week's definition: lefty trained to use his right hand. New word: Chopine.

Definitions:

Shannon Kimble: A type of tree.
Derek Durbin: A kind of toe disease.
Natalie Ayers: A tree fungus.
Mrs. Martin: A Chopin about trees.
Alejandra Atrnan: An Italian dessert.

Whew!

I most certainly am not [ambidextrous]; I can use one hand just as good as the other!

Still curious?
Knew it.

Danielle Ho: Unable to use either hand.
Michelle Geiger: To use your hands sinisterly.
Carmen Hood: To be born with an extra hand.
Lindsay Schneider: To have hands but to choose to use your feet instead.
Morgan Hughes: Term describing someone who lost a limb in combat.

Stay tuned!

Mettil, not Metal.

I know I'm late. So sue me. =P

Mr. Hunt: The study of metal.
Lindsay Shneider: The study of those small holes in the ground that appear mysteriously.
Jacob Sloan: The study of words no one knows or cares about.
Danielle Ho: The study of moth-eaten books.
Jacob Hooks: The study of leaves.

Truly? The study of bees. At least Jacob's rhymed with the correct answer.

The Old and the New, Take Seven

No witty banter today, considering I'm a day late there just isn't time. I feel like the White Rabbit. Selenophobia is the fear of the moon. Awwooo!

This week, melittology.

Keep your Monkeys and your Celine Dions!

This week, everyone was able to deduce that selenophobia is a fear of...something. Here are the guesses.

Ms. Husman: "The fear of music."
Michelle Geiger: "The fear of Celine Dion."
Carmen Hood: "The fear of silence."
Shannon Kimble: "The fear of monkeys."
Derek Durbin: "The fear of mud."

Blah blah blah, real definition Monday, blah blah blah, ooh the mystery and suspense.

The Old and the New, Take Six

Still curious? I knew you would be. Simply put, jumentous means smelling of horse pee. And so the next time you wish to insult a person, try using jumentous and leave them confused to boot.

New word: selenophobia

You know what to do.

Judgementally Good

Great minds think alike--unfortunately this week's guessers thought similarly incorrectly.

Ms. Smith: "Something to do with law; it's good and there's a lot of it."
Alex Hatfield: "Judgementally huge."
Tyler Harrison: "Something huge."
Sharon Green: "Big humor."
John Jackson: "Small toy."
