Birthday Definitions

not exactly Tolkien Trivia, but a lot of fun..!

New Definitions.

This is something the Washington Post does as a competition.

Take any word from the dictionary,

alter it by adding, subtracting or changing one or two letters, and supply a
new definition. Or add two words together to make a new one, or
alternatively come up with a new definition for a real word.

(put the original words underneath so that those who don't have English as a
first language can follow it a little easier.)

here are some of the winners.

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author's sarcastic wit and the reader who
doesn't get it.

(sarcasm + Chasm)

Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really
bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's, like, a serious
bummer.

(karma + Armageddon)

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very high.

Foreploy: any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
obtaining.. *cough* family board *cough*

I've been thinking about a few LOTR-related ones for Frodo & Bilbo's
birthday. Seeing as our good professor was a Philologist. I thought he
wouldn't mind...

Anominous - slightly scary looking stranger/unknown figure in the
shadowy corner of an inn or on a horse.

(Anonymous + ominous)

Berthday when hobbits eat too much at Bilbo's party.

Followship - "Mordor, Which way Gandalf? Left or right?"

Pipweed - Pippin's secret stash!

Drag-on - when the mind-games with Smaug just won't come to an end..

Complany when everybody in the group (*cough* Boromir *cough*) has a
different idea as to what to do with that dratted piece of gold.

See if you can come up with any more.
