Word of the Week #19  

85 members have voted

  1. 1. The word twankle (v.) means...

    • To fiddle with one's genitals over the top of clothes.
    • To exhibit a playful or lustful look in the eyes.
    • To play idly on a musical instrument.
    • To make a completely ineffectual adjustment to the engine of a car in need of mechanical help in a bogus attempt to prove you know exactly what you're doing. Usually performed for females by males who are operating under the erroneous assumption that this is a far better course of action than simply calling immediately for expert help or abandoning the car altogether and getting a cab.

Some slight tweaks to the comp for 2020... 

Every week we're going to have a poll about the definition of a forgotten or obscure word. From the four options pick the definition you believe to be the correct one. Voters who pick the correct definition go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!  :party: (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

NO GOOGLING OR DICTIONARY USE! We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term). ;)

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of any official definitions, etc., that will give away the game for others. 

Now you know the drill, vote away! :thumbsup: Good luck and may this comp prove to be a fun palaestra that turns us all into better word-grubbers, if you know what I mean...

It apparently has another meaning not offered as an option.

<cough> penis pillow <cough>

"As I stood in my driveway, having a sneaky twankle whilst looking over my car's engine, I noticed my neighbour in her window looking my way. Surprisingly I saw a twankle in her eyes, as she seductively twankled on her guitar. I had always been quite taken by her charms but did not want to seem overly eager, so I twankled with my engine a few minutes more, before plucking up the courage to wander over to the fence."

As I discovered when I googled it (after I voted) to find out if I was right... ?

These polls seemed more difficult before requiring a right answer.

i guess it’s like my adversaries say, not smart but good at taking a test...?

No.3 it was! Though I thought no.4 was a belter of a decoy (even if I do say so myself ?). 

The random draw sampler winner went to @thefisch6 !!

Congrats!! :party:
