Alright, too difficult, sorry. A pogrom was an officially sanctioned murderous attack on Jewish communities in Czarist Russia. The police would even take part in the mayhem.

New word: "rancid".

heRS · 09-27-2011, 07:01 PM

rancid - it's been out of the fridge too long, gone sour, unfit for consumption.

new word "eke"

Just kiddin'! It means to obtain just the minimum, as in "to eke out a livin'."

New word: "gopher".

heRS · 09-27-2011, 07:46 PM

gophers are the nemesis of my garden. They are root-eating little rodent bastiges is what they are. They live in the ground and mound up dirt and eat your plants!
or
the person you have that goes and gets everything you need - your "gopher".

new word "Onomatopoeia" I happened across this word the other day and thought it would be perfect for this game.

It means a word whose sound when pronounced elicits the image of the thing or action it expresses.

New word: "somnambulant"

heRS · 09-28-2011, 02:20 PM

hmm - guessing here, an active sleeper? sleepwalking? or half-awake?

BowtieBelle · 09-28-2011, 02:23 PM

Yeah, thass right. So lay us onto your new word.

Ivas · 09-29-2011, 07:27 PM

Okay, time's up. Someone is asleep at the keyboard, ha ha.

Re-start word: "harrow". (noun or verb is your choice)

BowtieBelle · 09-30-2011, 10:02 AM

A harrow is a farm tool you use to break up ground.

In the same vein, the adjective harrowing is to wound or make suffer.

Next word:

idiosyncratic.

It is something having meaning on its own without any obvious explanation. It is accepted "as is".

New word: "bray".
