( direnic) Yes, I kept something like that possibility in mind. For today, also maybe futilitarian for the careless mind. smile

Reading my email, nibbling on 3-minute Coffee Mug Chocolate Cake for the second time this week, and saw "rotund". I'd like to nominate "Irotund" - as an adjective to describe what I will soon look like if I keep eating these little cakes!

I like "protund" as a verb to describe the act of simulating pregnancy or obesity, as when one wears a Santa suit stuffed with a pillow: "I'm protunding to be Santa."

thanks all around for picking up on the invitation to imagine reheaded words this week! i missed yesterday because of a day-long conflict, but thought perhaps we could have erotund, describing Reubenesque women, or protund, the shape goal of a Sumo wrestler.

enjoyed the week! thanks, again.
