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  and ! 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! If your definitions are any indication of things to come, you'll get along just fine here.
