Today, some definitions. Definitions from the Rhyl Wenglish dictionary, Wenglish being an odd mix of North Walian and Scouse. I know the Oxford is the definitive English tome, however we're a bit more down to earth and on the streets here. For flips sake, they call a microwave oven a 'ping-ping' round these parts. I jest not. I mean, who in their right minds wouldn't go to Argos and ask for a thermo-nuclear sustainance regeneration device, rather than a ping-ping?
Anyway, to the definitions.
Rugex (n) rug-gecks
A special train to take fans to a stadium to watch a game involving largely overgrown men tossing odd shaped balls around and indulging in an awful lot of group hugging.
Tossers (n) toss-sirs
Fans of said game, so called because of their love of said tossing activities.
I think that's enough dictionaryisms for today.
Here's a Rugex, alas not today's. I braved the wind and the snow to phot 1V90. My dedication was repayed by the WAG set being replaced by 175110. Those Arriva wags eh? You gotta admire their sense of humour. Not.
So here's one of 1V90 at Rhyl on 26 November 2016, 67022 pushing on.
It has a leather cover and I think it was meant to be a souvenir because the picture is of Boulder Dam and it says Las Vegas, Nev. across the bottom right corner.
Had to settle for an easy one to reach my goal of one entry for each letter of the alphabet, but that doesn't mean that I'll stop adding entries to the dictionary :-)
it depends on how much movement you are willing to try doing in certain circunstances; some of them might never be really captured the right way. some might be forgotten among the movements-which-where-not-rightly-captured.

Jane's request:
"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
ā C.S. Lewis
When I was around 7 years old, I told my mom my life sucked because we had no fun books to read at home.
Saying that in my mother's house is the equivalent of caressing hairless Abercrombie bodies and saying you don't think they are smooth enough.
Somebody's gonna end up in tears and it'll probably be you.
My mother slapped a dictionary onto my lap and said: "Read this. Combine the words as you will and you'll have read all the books in the world. Even the fun ones."
With my arms crossed and the huge book wedged between my knees, I scowled at her bitterly every time she passed by.
And then nighttime came.
Inside my bed, with my small flashlight, I fell forever in love with dictionaries.
The altered dictionary challenge this fortnight is about the letter F. Frippery is a new word to me. I'm always looking for fun words to illustrate. There are lots of fun f words to choose from. I had a hard time choosing just one.

I once asked a man with beach front property if I could walk passed his big dog and trespass sign, just to get a shot of the sunset. I am afraid of strangers and of big dogs.
