I'm definitely not good at this game, haha. Had to look this one up, and as soon as I did I remembered how I should have known it

Now, that you know the word's meaning, through whichever way you learned it, are you gonna' share that information with the rest of us? |

Since you gave such a worthless word, I will also give you a picayune one!

"Pickayune" means to be of small value. It is used derisively in the Southern Dialects.
New word: "thresh". |

I've not heard "picayune" used derisively. Interesting.
Thresh: separate the grain from the plant Next: surfactant |

If my slightly different definition/spelling of the term is acceptable, I'd like to submit a new word for our game. The word is: "Gorgeous" |

My spelling was correct. Your definition was close. A substance dissolved in water that reduces it's surface tension.

Gorgeous - having great/splendid beauty.
Deferring the next word to 2SS Bumblebee as I think that surfactant wasn't correctly defined by others. (spelling was correct, as was his definition ... recalled it from antiquated chemistry ... surfactant = surface active agent). Give us a new word please, 2SS! |

Ok. Next: mores

I believe it's a newish word that indicates a campfire confection heated over the open flame that consists of marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate. Yum yum.
Regarding "surfactant", I never contested the spelling, only MY recollection of the spelling did not coīncide and thus cast doubt on my definition. I am happy it all worked out. You guys are always such smarty-pants. New word: "marrow". |

Yeah, I accept your definition, though that was really for s'more (which is kinda an offshoot of smore ... which actually means ... smother - makes sense, graham cracker and marshmallows smothered in chocolate! Yum indeed!)
marrow = innermost or core. As in bone marrow, the soft stuff in the center of major bones. new word = "recalcitrant" |

Yummy squash!

By the way, I thought maybe someone would define "marrow" in its vegetal sense: a zucchini (an anglicism). New word: "Mace" (not the teargas stuff ) |
