Is it Really a Word???

I have been collecting all the "word" verification words from making comments on blogs. Some of them are quite interesting. I thought it might be fun to have people make up what they think is a good definition for the words and use them in a sentence. It would be more fun than balderdash! Here are the words I have collected:
glipsing
matenal
beloil
musbonsh
cropwrig
chinerk
rebint
frumpo
masch
dilyphy
minglimp
mandowe
ounced
potic
outhera
poonstr
aciones

So choose a few words and try your hand at a definition. and don't forget to use it in a sentence. Post the ones you do on your blog and leave me a note so I can look at them. (Malapropisms are encouraged!)

Here are my tries:

frumpo: a person who is not too concerned about their dress. "She looked like a frumpo in her old, bright yellow muu muu.

beloil: being true "Always beloil to your best friends and they will beloil to you!"

cropwrig: the equipment you use to harvest your produce. "The farmer used his cropwrig to harvest the potatoes."

rebint: to bend the opposite way. "The waitress rebint the cheap fork before she gave it to the customer.

masch: a mixture of grains used to feed horses. "The dairyman dumped the masch into the feed trough for his cows."

chinerk: strong winds coming from the West. "The chinerk winds plowed into the islands and caused destruction everywhere."

Wow what an eventful month! I'm glad that you weren't flooded out and that you're moving back! You and Greg were and are such a great example to Curtis (and I), Curtis learned so much from Pres Gollaher in the mission field. I appreciate that so much! Good luck with the move, and congratulations on little Claire!

outhera: to designate a location. "We don't have time outhera to make up definitions to nonsense words."
