I would pick a word out of the dictionary and they would have to tell me the meaning of the word. Later they would look it up in the dictionary hence increasing their skill here too.
So here we go- I thought I would post a word and without looking in a dictionary I thought readers could leave me what they think the meaning is in a comment. Remember no dictionary peeking.
SO THE WORD IS:-
"NUMINOUS"

Thanks for your comment Caroline, yes I lurk you too! Numinous huh! How about "glowing numbers", derived from luminous and numerous?? I actually haven't a clue. Can I peek at the dictionary now?
I know that it is the answer you give to the taxi driver after the office christmas party when they ask you how many drinks you had.

No No you naughty little cabbage we must not tell the people yet!!
Has to be something with numbers. O.K i admit I never listened in school I can't even spell right with the spell check for goodness sake never mind using fancy words.
What about........I 'm sorry I have to go for the dictionarey..
My husband has a good vocab, I will try it out on him.
No luck there.
If luminous means light in the dark,
numinous means numbers where there are none?
Or luminious means shines by itself hubby says, so...
how can numbers do something by themselves???
Don't know.
Something out of nothing?
Check out my blog I've posted the word answer.
CAROLINE, I couldn't wait to tell you that you won the prize on my blog!
