Okay, due to a request from an unknown acquaintance of mine, and due to the fact that i love words and sharing their meanings, obscure or not, with the general population who abide around me, i am going to give "word of the day/week" another go....
So here is your wordly challenge for the sharpening of your brain cells and the expansion of your gray matter...
brobdingnagian
So put your thinking caps on, pull out the dictionaries (well, leave them on the shelf for a little while to allow your brains to have some exercise) and see what you come up with for this little beauty. And soon, once the meaning is revealed, you too will be able to go up to your friend and say "brobdingnagian is so good!" or "i feel so brobdingnagian today." or "that is such a brobdingnagian thing to say..."
Happy searching!

"Brobdingnagian"
One who has a strange fascination for covering all of their food with icing sugar or other sweets.
brobdingnagian is of course, as we all know another way to say ::: wonderfull!
brobdingnagian - now theres a word. :) its a musical term noting the beat in 2/2 time and needs to be played by someone who nags a lot - hence the nagian at the end.
Sorry this is the best i can come up with and seeing as i was the unknown friend i felt it better to contribute. Yet i remain anonymous
