Today’s alternative definition falls into the “it made me laugh so it’s going in” category and has no relevance to anything at all;

“Dysentery” – Being uncomplimentary about Terrance.

Every now and then an alternative definition pops into my head when I read a word, then refuses to leave, no matter how corny and terrible it is. This leaves no room for additional thoughts to percolate, until I have excised it by inflicting it on you, my long-suffering readers.

This is an example of one such mindworm, so I apologise in advance for its awfulness:

“Operating” – Jamaican term for a highbrow musical form (e.g. Aida, Don Giovanni, etc)

For this Wednesday’s one line redefinition in the alternative dictionary we have something that won’t be popular over Christmas:

“Rationale” – Limit the amount of beer available.

Today’s misheard and misspelled alternative definition is the result of Audrey discovering a new word during a conversation about impolite political rhetoric;

“Diatribe” – “Is that what vegans are in?”

Today’s alternative definition has a distinctly male slant to it;

“Baltic” – An involuntary protective flinch, prompted by the threat of groin injury from any number of sources. (leaping pets, small children’s heads, sports, etc)
