That didn't take long...

Once again a dashed off definition of mine wins the "prize."  So as a reward for voting for my def last time (thanks!), I present you with an, I hope, challenging new word from my pile.

It is:


**************> trepang <*****************



Please send your fanciful definitions and DQs to me ASAP at nanc...@gmail.com.   Deadline is 1 p.m. EST on Thursday April 9.  Which is 6 p.m. GMT the same day.  I hope we can successfully work around the Passover and Easter holidays.  I think we can.

Looking forward to seeing your fascinating definitions.

Thanks!

Nancy

Hi Nancy 

I'm possibly DQ on this. I know that trepanning is a form of crude surgery involving drilling a hole in the head. There's also a very similar word related to the harvesting of sea cucumbers.

Well I hope neither of those are right. :)

Join the club!   You’re not the first and most likely won’t be the last.    Repeat after me, “It’s just a game.”

trepang is misspelt: it is what happens when a car hits a tree

That's veddy British, John. Most Yanks have no idea what a "prang" is.

Shani, 

Not to worry. And if Dan's mantra doesn't look like it's working for you, try this one, equally short: Don't DQ, it's pointless.
