This is probably bad timing for a bluffing game word when Proof is having trouble attracting limerickers, but I heard about this great word and want to post if for our Bluffing Game. Maybe you've all heard it before. Who knows. But here it is: Snarge
Go to it! Send me a few daffyinitions since I think many are partying instead of Wordcrafting.
Oh...and Geoff...we know you are out there. Send me a daffy about snarge, please?

I'll wait till Wednesday for the limerick game so I won't step on this one.

Well, heck. It's late and I forgot to do this! Go ahead, proof. You post Moline limericks tomorrow, and I'll wait until Thursday for the Bluffing Game.

Here we go!
1) To lunge forward in a warrior pose, particularly used in pilates.
2) Military slang - Situation Normal, All Readings Green - Engage
3) The remains of a bird after it collides with an airplane.
4) A very big snarl. A portmanteau word formed from snarl and large.
5) A piece of material which could cover a woman's cleavage, if she wished, or was removed for the proper occasion.
6) The catch that holds the boot (trunk) shut on a car.
7) A metal baffle used to deflect heat in colonial fireplaces.
8) Pirate gunboat
9) A non-commissioned officer with a bad head cold.
10) Biotoxic effluent
There are some excellent daffynitions here? Which is the correct definition? Start guessing!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kalleh,

I don't know. Are there?
I'd say number ten is logical, therefore probably wrong.

It's the boitoxic effluent from a bird that has struck the windshield of an airplane flown by a woman with exposed cleavage, usually a booby.

How's about a guess, Geoff?

I'm choosing #2.... Even if it sounds like something reported back to the captain by a Blue Meanie on board a Yellow Submarine...

Hey, that was my guess. (Not really, but very funny).
I think no. 9 is kind of funny.
I'm guessing 5. because it doesn't sound like anything something would make up.

4) A very big snarl. A portmanteau word formed from snarl and large. (arnie; fooled no one)
5) A piece of material which could cover a woman's cleavage, if she wished, or was removed for the proper occasion. (proof; fooled Tom)
6) The catch that holds the boot (trunk) shut on a car. (Bob; fooled no one)

That is probably even more amusing to those of us of a certain age in the UK. There used to be a (pretty dire but popular at the time) TV comedy here set in an army camp called The Army Game. One of the main characters was a Sergeant Major Snudge.

Yes, I liked that one, as well as the biotoxic effluent. We got creativity with this one.
