Please send me your daffynitions!

mine has gone out via pm. Nice word!

I'm in.

Going on a trip for the weekend...proceed without me for a few days!

Hab, have a great trip! Mine is in, too, though no one has chosen a definition of mine for decades!

Does anyone else have a daffynition to submit? I'll post what I have Wednesday night.

Peristerophily: (I forgot to number these the first time around)

1. A love of change or alteration.(Bob Hale) Kalleh chose this one.

2. A love of grandiose, Classical architecture. (Cat didn't fool anyone)

3. Being in love with a friend. (nor did Caterwauller)

4. Love of the outdoors (characterizes members of the Sierra Club). (ditto Haberdasher)

5. The occupation of historians specializing in cities on the Seine, particularly the French capital. (This was Jerry's definition, and Caterwauller fell for it)

6. A love of, or collecting of, pigeons. **This was the real McCoy, guessed by Arnie, Jo, and Jerry Asa told me Arnie would get it right.

7. Enjoying being squeezed or hugged. This was Arnie's definition, voted for by Asa, because he loves being squeezed or hugged by Sunflower.

8. The study of fluid transport in plants. This was Asa's definition, and both Cat and Haberdasher voted for it. Good job, Asa!

9. A large blue flower seen in the southeastern part of the United States. Bob Hale voted for this definition by Kalleh.

10.A love of Perister Park and Mt. Perister, located southwest of Macedonia and a perennial favorite of many tourists, mostly from Greece and Italy. This was Jo's definition. Don't feel bad, Jo - no one voted for mine either (see #11).

11.A fondness for persimmons and similar fruits.

I'll hope it's 7!

Number 1 for me, please.

SIX for me, please.

I'll take #6, even though I'm sure I'm being led afowl.

Purely because it's almost the only one that doesn't have the idea of love in the definition and so must by wrong, I'll go for 9.

(Peris, Paris? I think not.)

6 for me, please.

I have no idea, but liking history, I'll take 5.

Now that I think of it, if it were "love of..." something, it should have been -philia, not -ophily. Which leaves only 5, 8, and 9.

I like the one about fluid transport. Number 8 for me !

Oh, Hab! I wanted that one!

Oh well, I can still have it. 8, please.

OK - I'm still learning how to do this. I edited my original list of definitions, so please look for it up on the list a ways.

Fine job, Sweetie! Now, just when did you get cozy with them there pigeons?

Great word, Sunflower!

I chose Bob's word, and he chose mine; I always knew that he and I were on the same wavelength! Is there a word for "love of change?" There should be! Wordcrafter's word today was immobilism, which is resistance to change.

Who's up next?

Who's up next?

I recently found an interesting word, but I've submitted one recently, soooo, I'll wait and see if someone else jumps in. If not.....

I'd like to do it if no one else is going to.

Go, Jo!

Tinman

the new word is up! And only one daffynition posted; Arnie, of course.

I must be missing something .... unless the new word is "up."

In other words, what IS the new word ??

Jerry, See here.
