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: Zable

HAVE FUN! AND HAPPY FRIDAY?
Zable: a new forest dwelling animal, found deep in the jungles of Africa. It was once believed to be a relative of the elusive Okapi, but is now thought to be the sterile offspring of zebra and sable antelope.

I'm sure you guys can do better than that.

    The world is now populated by a generation none of whom find it even remotely acceptable to wear fur - zable print fabrics are the animal friendly/fashionable alternative.

    Zable: n., A table for zoo animals. Example: "Baby gorillas are cute, but they have terrible zable manners."

    P.S. The word verification I just got was "backimp," which is obviously what I have sitting on my shoulder, whispering naughty things into my ear. ;)

    Christina's way better at this than me. When someone is not quite mentally stable and all he can could up with in conversations is zingers.

    A new verb, meaning "to be capable of zany things."
    Example: I am zable to make chicken-flavored lollipops.
