View Full Version : [Dixonary] Round 2486a: VOG

Da woid for round 2486 is no longer twee, an apparently common British
word for overly sweet, delicate, cute, etc. So let's try a new one.

Found somewhere in the dictionary between voetstoots and volapuk is:

*** VOG ***

Please send me your fabulous, fanciful, fake, fictitious, fairy-tale,
fabricated, false, fantastical, forged, fabled, far fetched, fraudulent,
flim flam, feigned, fanatical, and figmental definitions for twee by
email to widdis (AT) dixonary (DOT) net

Including VOG or 2486 somewhere in either your subject line or message
will reduce the chances that I'll miss your submission.

The deadline for submitting your definitions remains unchanged, just
under 31 hours from now, at 10:00 PM PST Tuesday, February 25, 2014.
According to my sources, that translates to Wednesday, February 26 at:
1:00 AM EST in New York,
6:00 AM GMT/UTC in London,
7:00 AM CET in The Hague, and
5:00 PM AEDT in Melbourne.

Johnny: thought you might like to know that your message, as viewed via
Google groups, carries with the invitation to "translate message to
English".

For 'carries with' read either 'comes with' or 'carries'. But you knew that.

Well, this word wasn't nearly as widely known as twee, but there are
enough of you living near active volcanos that you recognized the
portmanteau of volcano and fog/smog.

Sigh.

Take three coming up.

So much for the abbreviation of Vector Object Graphics ... :(

Probably wouldn't have fooled anyone anyhow.

Because the name of the month is in its dictionary? I could write "This May I plan to go to Australia." (Happens to be true.)

That presupposes that May may be twee which may or not be true too

however I can make no sense of "in fact quite two"
