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.
