Definitions that Should Be in the Dictionary
One of my student employees shared these definitions with me. I thought some of them were pretty funny! Like handkerchief and wrinkles. I identify with them . . . .

beauty parlor: a place where women curl up and dye
committee: a body that keeps minutes and wastes hours
dust: mud with the juice squeezed out
egotist: someone who is usually me-deep in conversation
handkerchief: cold storage
inflation: cutting money in half without damaging the paper
mosquito: an insect that makes you like flies better
raisin: a grape with a sunburn
secret: something you tell to one person at a time
toothache: the pain that drives you to extraction
tomorrow: one of the greatest labor saving devices of today
yawn: an honest opinion openly expressed (especially at a committee meeting!)
wrinkles: something other people have, similar to my character lines

I liked the definitions for “yawn” and “committee” myself… LOL.
