Word of the Week #33  

91 members have voted

  1. 1. The word morganatic (adj.) means...

    • Designating a marriage between two people of unequal social rank
    • Incredibly sad in the morning
    • Very confused or at a paralysing impasse when making a major purchase, especially white goods.
    • The expression or countenance on a man's face at the exact time he makes the decision to throw it all in and become a combine harvester driver. Sometimes a chronic condition when the subject realises he is already a combine harvester driver--known as the "morganatic loop". No known female cases exist.

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...

Whaaaat on earth is up with that last choice? How can that possibly be correct? But then again, how can that possibly be wrong? What to do....
