hee hee! These are great! Helen, thanks for "sheep's eye shellwork" - I was hoping someone would come up with a sheep one! (had one by PM too - hope it will ultimately turn up here!) Rubrick - Edam eclair made me ![](/board/images/icons/laugh.gif) and ![](/board/images/icons/laugh.gif) ! very clever! I will never look at a cheesecake the same way again - in fact I think I will never call a cheesecake a cheesecake again. This could give rise to a new expression: "Call a cheesecake a cheesecake," because people who like to be ooh-la-la will call it an Edam eclair and people who like plain living and straight talking will call it...you-know-what. Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

MG - this is a very entertaining game indeed! Nice to see such fun here at AWAD - last I checked in, things were a lot less funny.
All from Webster's New Collegiate:
snapshot snivelling - complaining that one never looks good in pictures
Gothic grabbing - foreplay between two people dressed in black
ideal idiom - how tsuwm talks
exact excess - binging just the right amoung
chimera chirk - to cheer someone up by lying to him about how bad things really are
equivocally ermine - fake fur
guidebook gum - "We really need to find a place to stay tonight...I think there's a hotel down this little street...let's see what it's called...damn, I can't get the pages apart...what is this pink stuff?"

May I crash your party? I can see that this game could get quite addictive. I've just grinned or guffawed my way through all five screens; thanks for the endorphin boost!
And I GOTTA play...

Welcome, Micah68Woman ~ this might be the first time I've been the first at the welcome wagon! What luck! ![](/board/images/icons/smile.gif) If your definitions are any indication of things to come, you'll get along just fine here. ![](/board/images/icons/laugh.gif)
