Thinkin' Thursday - Golden Spoon Award

Weird, wacky words deserve their own special place in the stratosphere. In honor of the peculiarities of the English language, I am giving away the Golden Spoon Award.

Golden Spoon of Words Award

The Challenge - Below is a list of 20 Weird words; each with an accompanying sentence that will indicate the definition of the word. So, all you have to do is figure out the definition. Easy enough. The first 5 people to hit the finish line will be passed the Golden Spoon on tomorrow's post.
