Let's Get Smart - Let's Use the Dictionary

Now to play the game in this thread, you have to use the dictionary.

Here is how it works.

I start with a strange word that you look up in the dictionary. First person who posts the definition of that word, gives another strange word, that has to be looked up.

The key here is to use words that are not easily recognized. MiceChatters should have to look them up.

So if you are prepared with a definition, be prepared with an unusual word for the next poster to provide the definiton for.

Get your dicitionaries out. Keep them handy.

Maybe we can all learn something and get smarter.

I will start with the word:

didactic

Karla you provided the definition, so you should have provided the next unusual word.

Make it a good one. Something no one knows, so they have to look it up.

Oh she did provide the word.

Excuse my 2 inappropriate posts.

Apologies to Karla. I am getting my dictionary.
