I'm thinking of a word between aardvark and zymurgy

[blackmage_nuke]

In this thread you will try to guess the word I am thinking of and I will respond higher or lower to clue you in on whether you're guess comes before (lower) or after (higher) the answer alphabetically.

But you wont just be posting one word guesses, oh no, you have to work for your points. With every guess you have to post a definition along with it. I will accept entries from dictionary.com or just by typing "define [word]" into google

Hopefully we can use this game as a way to increase our vocabularies.

I'll probably only respond to the guesses which will most limit the range of guessing.

(eg if the answer is cat and people guess; ant, bunny, dog and elephant, then i will say higher than bunny and lower than dog.)

1 guess per post

I will not use any words begining with captial letters (Names, places and the such) and all words will be atleast 3 letters long.

BEGIN

As an added incentive I will rep each winning post! But don't stand aside just because you feel bad about hogging rep, this is a cut throat game with no room for mercy.
