Okay, there's something like this pertaining to Hitchhiker's Guide, but I thought to broaden it a bit and say that we should record definitions for words that supercede those offered my Mr. Webster. You see, some words simply aren't defined very well in the dictionary. So here is the chance: Re-write the definition to your word(s) in such a way that they make a little more sense, are more amusing, or overall work better. (I also expect some good punning  ) I'll start with one that hit me just a few moments ago. Love: (deriv. Eros, verb) the only game in which surrender is a good strategy. |

It was a caustic remark, not meant wholeheartedly. Just as love is far more than a game.
