Obs. The embroidery around the hole in a traditional "wedding sheet," the purpose of which was to catch the bride's blood in proof of her virginity. | ||

Um ... Asa? I think you meant to send that by PM.   Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Great def. though Asa, very well thought out. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

OHHHHHHHHH, MERDE!!! I'll send another via PM - and that doesn't mean "pre-marital" or some such! | ||
|
| Member |
Got it, Asa! Now, if the rest of you will please send a daffynition? I've only got three. Surely you can invent something for this most unusual word. | |||

I've got five daffynitions so far. If no more arrive by the end of the day tomorrow, I shall make up a couple myself and post the results on Monday. | |||

As promised, here are your daffynitions. Thanks for some really interesting submissions. 1. The storage room in a medieval alchemist's laboratory where glass was stored. 2. The use of a double-headed ax in warfare. 3. The practice of inserting labrets, an ornament worn through the upper or lower lip. 4. A hatchery for a species of salt water fish. 5. A botanical garden, specifically specialising in the cultivation of ferns. 6. Lacy booties for canines. 7. Term used in late 1800s for doctors' instruments used specifically for female examinations. 8. A closet that is built under a staircase, often lined with cedar, for holding clothing. . | |||

I lost another post! I voted 1 before Kalleh did, honest! "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

Anyone can vote. Do it often!  | |||

I'll go for 3. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Bah!  I had hoped that spelling the word "ax" would put some people off the scent, but no luck. (We spell it "axe" in the UK.) From somewhere from the back of my mind I dredged up the fact that lip piercings are called "labrets". How (and why) I learnt that I have no idea. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Good word, Jo! Who is next? ******* "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. ~Dalai Lama | |||

Asa has a word going, CW. Darn! I wondered if it were #3, but I just didn't have enough confidence, I guess. | |||
