I found myself in a Venn state of tripartite intersection this morn, and thought it might be worthwhile starting a writerly thread in that mental space. One set of thought was in the Writers’ Challenge thread, Make Me Dirty, the second was in Allard’s thread on Seldom-Used Words, and the third in Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary, and the intersection seemed a place where we might play with the meaning of words, giving them more of a Literotic cast then their standard definition would denote. Bierce even had a few himself, such as,

Adamant noun. A mineral frequently found beneath a corset. Soluble in solicitate of gold.

I’m not sure if there’ll be interest, but I’ll try starting it off with...

Aback adverb. A sexual position commonly entered into by surprise; a tergo. Ex. Though she knew her date was aroused, she hadn’t expected to be taken aback by him.

It would be nice, if anyone wants to continue, to do it in alphabetical order, but I’m content to let things go as they will.

Nice idea, Tio. I promise to give it some proper thought; I think it deserves to be given some proper thought.
 
The Washington Post has a contest every year where readers submit alternative meanings of words. Some really clever ones are submitted. For instance 'Pokemon' (n) A Jamaican proctologist.

One of Dorothy Parker's famous quips was using the word 'horticulture' in a sentence, to wit "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

I'll work on your idea. :D

And here I was hoping for some improper thoughts, Sam...

Thanks, TE; I'll have to keep an eye out for the Washington Post contest. I like that def of Pokemon. And thanks also for bringing up Dorothy Parker's classic; I get a laugh evry time I see it.

For both of you guys (and everyone else), I was just proposing it as something that might be a bit of writerly fun, so do take it lightly...:)
 
I thought it might be a bit difficult, though interesting. I had considered playingit with a primer, that is, each definer would pick the next word to be defined, but decided that might be too constraining.

I'll try to 'prime' it myself once more, and note that any entry would be welcome, puns and malapropisms in particular...


bivalve noun. A sexual outlet for desires that flow both ways; sometimes opened by a serving of oysters.

coincide noun. Either of the two men included in a DP.
 
A feeble attempt:

hormones noun. The sounds heard by the midnight cleaning crew at the Chicken Ranch.

massageny noun: The irrational fear of the naked masseuse.
 
Not my own work - the credit belongs to Mae West (or one of her scriptwriters) - but perhaps worthy of inclusion?

Curve, noun, the loveliest distance between two points
 
Thanks, Sam. Any source is fine; the idea is to enjoy the word play. I'll try moving from 'C' to "D."

diamondback 1. A demand made by a suitor when he finds his fiance in bed with another man; 2. A Material Girl; a woman who may be enticed into a supine position through the proper application of valuable gifts.
