Member Hi Folks,
Sorry didn't realise there was a redefinitions game going. Have added it to my Email Notifications and will put any further re-word definitions in that thread.
Member Unless, of course, they're "dis-" words; those go into the dis- game thread. (Any DISTORTION will have to be untwisted, and the wrong righted.).)

Member Who's up for starting "The anti-dis-game" where we come up with new definitions for existing words, or brand new words based on taking the opposite of a real meaning of a DIS-... or DE-...-word as the meaning of what's left when DIS or DE are removed.
Proposed Format:
WORD - meaning (DISWORD)
For example:
TER - encourage (DETER)
COUNT - increase the prices (DISCOUNT)
CREPIT - in good shape (DECREPIT)
If at least 3 people reckon it is worth pursuing I will start a new thread for it?
