I came across this word today, but have no concept of what it is - or even if it is the word that relates to the letter that I was typing. I might just have made it up, but the dictionary seems to accept it. i thought other people might want to learn a new word for today, so thats why Im writing this tread.

Does anyone know what it means? if not, make something up.

Thanks :rolleyes:

oh, and the word for today is:

Baubles

I've got christmas baubles, those shiny round christmas decorations that smash painfully if you stand on one. If you don't know what a bauble is then WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU DO AT CHRISTMAS?!

I most verily refuse to be hoodwinked by any user of these forums. To be tricked by them would be a disgrace among disgraces. :D

Huh ? I dont understand - why would assume that a word meant something else, unless you always thought words had alternative meanings - you hang them on your Christmas tree.

I'm back from my biology class. If I hear exocytosis one more time I'll explode. The teacher was pretty harpy with me when I drew a pacman ghost on his cell diagram.(tee hee).

Baubles is nothing! I was looking for my favourite word (snirtle - to laugh slyly) when I found these terms in a Scottish dictionary:

Swirlie - "knaggie, full of knots"
Silken snood - "a silk fillet, token of virginity"
swanker - ... I'll let you look up that one
