petaj

Created by: petaj

Pronunciation: a-STIG-mate

Sentence: Sharna's refusal to wear her glasses resulted in her frequently astigmating astounded strangers.

I often finish up with a number of verboticisms for the definition- and, to play safe I put them in my sentence. I do like "astigmate" though. - OZZIEBOB, 2007-09-03: 23:31:00
