Sept.-Oct. Hogwash: GEMEBUND
1. having the color of a pumpkin; dark yellow-orange.
2. gemebund ( alt. sp. gemebun'd): having precious or semi-precious stones embedded in the buttocks area, sometimes in conjunction with an arrangement of tattoos.
3. of or relating to a finish for wood that employs an elastic polymer to ensure a dent-proof bond.
4. pretty with a dash of plain, comely.
5. Moribund.
6. Of or pertaining to two mythic twin snake-like familiars of the Hopi indians; their mythical names latinized by catholic priests. Desiring a symbiotic relationship with the snake, the shaman allowed the great snake to wrap itself around his upper torso and attach tendrils deep into his body. The gemebund familiar (l. geme > twin) would always bring great wisdom to his shaman host, but a moribund (l. mori > to die) familiar would grow fat feeding from the soul of his host until, and even after, the unfortunate shaman's death.
7. foggy or misty.
8. from the Latin, becoming increasingly valuable.
9. moaning, groaning, whimpering [L]: the gemebund wind sent shivers down her spine.
10. capable of (and actively in the process of) splitting into two parts (like that infernal broom in the Sorcerer's Apprentice); from geme-, from gemini (twins)

- - Hey Whit! Pick me! I,ll spit, Whit, I'll spit! The correct answer is... # 9 - that's right - # 9 _______________________________________
gemebund: # 9. moaning, groaning, whimpering [L]: the gemebund wind sent shivers down her spine.You know the saying, "the times that you think you are most right are the times that you are the most wrong".Well Pals O' Mine, this ain't one of 'em. In fact I am so sure that I'm right that I will email each and every one of you Hogwashers and Hogwasherettes ---> $5.00 (Five Dollars) in the form of a promissory note if I'm proven wrong. Hint: The secret to understanding this word was knowing its latino roots. - [Note: The above in no way violates the non-gaming laws of Hogwash. No bet as such has been made and no wagering has been promoted. -mw]
