HOGWASH word WAGIMAN

I'm starting a new round of Hogwash and the word is...........

WAGIMAN


The participants in this game are to suggest a meaning for this word, a spurious definition (known as 'daffynitions') and submit them (by private message ) to me, Candy.

You have a "sennight" to send your ideas in and then your compositions will be posted and voting will begin. (I may be persuaded to extend this period if necessary).

I'm looking for the most imaginative meaning, not necessary the real meaning, which will be revealed at the end of the game
because, you all know.....no cheating. Do not use a dictionary or google the word.

Have fun everyone.

Could you tell what it means? Internet challenged. Is it good or bad? I mean .... I don't understand the expression.

It's a play on the politically correct phrases of the form x-challenged, e.g., intellectually-challenged for someone who isn't quite of normal intelligence or physically-challenged for someone who might have, for example, a deformed leg. It has gone on to become height-challenged for someone shorter than average. In Avy's case it might mean that she has lost internet access at home.

Yup. I'll give it a go mate.

Ah, thank you. I already suspected there was something wrong.

daffynitions..still arriving

some by carrier pigeon, some by hand, some by ship from overseas
so I know you will forgive me for wanting to wait another day or two.

---chafing at the bit in anticipation. One of the better
aspects of this site, from my point of view.
Posted By: Candy Re: hogwash- wagiman - 11/01/10 10:21 AM
Well...I was holding of a bit as one person said they still may send in entry.

Might give them 24 hrs, OK

I've peaked at the entries....and they are all good.

I'm the brand newbie on the block. I understand how the game works, but how do I get in to play? I don't see an option...
Posted By: LukeJavan8 Re: hogwash- wagiman - 11/08/10 10:59 PM


WELCOME, AMYKINS

amykins:
you'll probably have to wait for the next game, which
hopefully will be soon.

Amykins, you can vote here but it's too late to give a daffynition.
