Deadfast

Created by: galwaywegian

Pronunciation: ded faast

Sentence: The undertaker remarked on how deadfast the Lemming family had been through the generations, right back to old Abe who had tried to reason with a herd of buffalo in the days before barbed wire.

Etymology: steadfast, dead fast.

COMMENTS:

nice intuitive word. Minor objection to it not being a verb but a good idea. - Wiserhinoceros, 2007-07-17: 11:50:00

Hmm where in the rules does it say it has to be a verb? I guess that is somewhat implied from the name of the game, but I didn't realize that was a hard and fast rule. - jesster, 2007-07-17: 13:15:00

I would think the definition implies verb-like action in this case, but a well-placed object works for me too. - Kyoti, 2007-07-17: 15:24:00

would you like to rephrase that Kyoti? - galwaywegian, 2007-07-18: 03:57:00
