The process of roasting meat. Roast meat. ''During this Christmas season, hastery will be going on in many households.''

Me too Slava.

Gluttony. Overconsumption of food. ''Americans will demonstrate much gulosity on Thanksgiving Day.'' I thought this word might be appropo since all of us here in the USA will be doing quite a bit of overeating tomorrow.

Something that serves as a rampart, protection or defense. ''The ancient city, like many ancient cities, had a propugnaculum built around it to protect it.''

A small meal or snack. ''In addition to his 3 primary meals everyday, Bob would also eat a few prandicles.''

Mean-spirited or heartless. ''During the Christmas season there are a lot of dapocaginous Scrooges around.''

To overuse a word that one has just learned. ''Tom mentioned the word he had recently learned, only to start dunandunating, which bored everybody. No one else wanted to hear the word ever again!'' This word seemed especially appropriate, since we,re a group of logophiles.

A poor,unskilled or unpracticed lover. ''She didn,t want to be his girlfriend anymore because he didn,t know how to make love well. He was an amatorculist.''

I know that research might be done with this word but it does seem to be a legitimate word.

To gullibly believe in a word,s veracity. ''Too many people, when seeing a new word, lendrumbilate. That is, they believe it,s a genuine word without doing any research on it.''

To recline while eating at the table. ''The Romans would discumb while eating their meals.''

Of 2 or more people, to greet each other. ''The 2 men saw each other and entresalued.''

To strike, as with lightning. To paralyze or dumbfound. ''The terrible news that Tom told Bill absolutely siderated Bill.''

Forgive me for the double post. My mistake!

Twaddle or humbug. ''He wasn,t impressed by what the guy told him. He thought it was just a bunch of effutiation.''
