JusJoJan 15 1/2 – Words

12 Comments

On this, the fifteen and a halfth day (yes, I made that up because I want there to be a middle) of Just Jot it January, I’d like to refresh things by getting as many people involved as possible – with a prompt!

My dear friend Myas, last week reminded me of a post that went up on The Community Storyboard – again, a prompt – where we were challenged to find new meanings for ten words. Here is Myas’ post: http://preziosofrye.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/jusjojan-11th-word-geekery/

It was so much fun for me that I’d like to see what you can come up with. Yes, YOU! Find ten words of your own and redefine them. Post them on your site and then link your post back here in the comments so we can all see them. As an added incentive, I will re-blog the first three people who link back their post.

The following was my contribution from last July:

1. Barrage – how old you are when you can legally drink
2. Brandy – comes after brand C
3. Mystical – a foggy giggle
4. Ineffability – the spontaneous and continuous use of the eff word
5. Donut – a person enamoured with the expletives of Homer Simpson
6. Aftermath – period of time when one must go to history class
7. Morbid – before the end of the auction
8. Philosophize – speculate about something hardening (tell me if you get it)
9. Summarily – …and some miserably
10. Distract – the opposite of dat tract

Get yours in early!

Post on your site, and join Just Jot it January. The rules are easy!

1. It’s never too late to join in, since the “Jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post) counts as a “Jot.” If it makes it to WordPress that day, great! If it waits a week to get from the sticky note to your screen, no problem!
2. If you write a JusJoJan post on your blog, you can ping it back to the above link to make sure everyone participating knows where to find it.
3. Write anything!
4. Have fun!

    Fifteen and a hafth sounds much like eleventy eleventh from Tolkien. Neat idea. I like the idea of redefining of words idea. It sounds like interesting reading.

    That’s hilarious!

    But it also has now confused me… I’m beginning to think you’re of the trickster archetype 😉

    I argue with dictionary definitions quite a bit, now I have more ammo and won’t know what any word means by then end of it, but that’s okay because I never did and never do. Carrying on as usual.

    And I’m guessing it’s to do with fossils… am I hot or cold?

      Nah, not a trickster. I just tend to come up with things that are far too complicated for my own good.

      You are very very warm – in fact I’d go as far as to say you got it!

      Thanks very much for getting into the spirit of it all, Ursula 😀
