Thanks for stopping by and for this great word! Feel free to add more on the word-dedicated post, Limn This Word:http://www.literarylotus.com/2007/09/limn-this-word.html
I have lots of favourite words – they have to roll off your tongue – able to be tasted and felt. But one stands out – spiflicate. It does all the above but I had no idea what it meant until I was about 15. I and my siblings thought it was made up – by our Dad who always threatened us with dire spiflication if we ever played up.
