Continue in comments. Feel free to start your own limericks in comments as well, if you've an opening line that needs airing. Completed limericks will be posted in the showcase.

Daffynitions

Daffynitions are new definitions of existing words. This used to be played in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue as Uxbridge English Dictionary.

For example -

Rusticate: to mash up corroded girders with one's teeth.
Chary: like a chair.
Expunge: a deceased sponge.

(Hm. Well. The great thing about Mostly Life is that you have to think of the rest ....)

Here's some words that might need Daffynitions:
Ovine
Rugose (thanks Mel and Faith for I had no idea what this word really meant)
Capacious
Flagitious

Limericks

The opening line follows: the next four contributors complete the verse one line at a time in comments. Feel free to start new limericks once the first is finished.

I have an unusual habit:

Good news, Bad news

Well, mostly we're stealing this game from Radio 4's wonderful and probably deceased I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. The rules as stated on that bastion of unbiased excellence, Wikipedia, are 'One player gives a piece of good news, another gives a corresponding piece of bad news, then the next gives good news and so on. For example: "Good news, the Russians are putting a Briton into space", "Bad news, it's not Jeffrey Archer", "The good news is that it is Robert Maxwell", "Bad news, he's going to nobble the Sky satellite", "Good news, he'll succeed".'

We'll do that then, shall we? Only we'll use comments. Continue the game in comments.

Good news: my favourite camel is pregnant.

Word Association

I'll start.

Loofah.
