Fonetic Friday: Word of the Day

Hey, you know those cool words they make you type when you comment on a blog, the ones that prevent spammers from commenting? If they were real words, what would they mean? See if you can come up with a definition and use it in a sentence.


Today’s word is: Poggia

HAVE FUN! AND HAPPY FRIDAY?

Poggia: This is what I called my porch When I lived in New Orleans.
 
“Let’s all go out on the poggia for a julip.”

  3. poggia - the kind of poking kids do when they want their parents to wake up. Maybe I'm just bitter about my morning...

  6. Hi Melissa,
    Well, the linguist in me couldn't resist. Poggiare is an Italian verb that means to lean or rest. However, Poggio means knoll.
    So I couldn't come up with a word of my own just because this word is "too" Italian for me ;)
